Brief aan president Rouhani: ‘Herzie zaken advocaten’

Iran

Op de dag van de advocaat in Iran, woensdag 26 februari, heeft Lawyers for Lawyers haar zorgen over zeven gedetineerde advocaten in een brief gedeeld met president Rouhani. Het gaat om de advocaten Mostafa Daneshjo, Amir Islami, Farshid Yadollahi, Afshin Karampoor, Omid Behroozi, Mohammed Seifzadeh en Abdolfatah Soltani. Lawyers for Lawyers is namelijk bezorgd dat deze zeven advocaten slechts zijn gedetineerd vanwege hun werk als advocaat en de uitoefening van hun professionele taken.

In de brief roept Lawyers for Lawyers de president, die zelf jurist is, op om de gelegenheid van de dag van de advocaat in Iran te baat te nemen om de situaties van de zeven advocaten nog eens zorgvuldig te heroverwegen. De brief werd tevens verstuurd aan de Iraanse advocatenordes, het hoofd van de rechterlijke macht, de permanente vertegenwoordiging van Iran bij de VN in New York en Geneve en Iraanse ambassades.
