Do you remember the latest Iranian lawyer, Lady Nasrin Sotoudeh who for the crime of diligently defending her client was thrown into solitary confinement?
Now the news comes that both her husband and her attorney have been told by the Islamist Rapists that if they do not pipe-down, they too will be arrested.
Sotudeh’s husband, Reza Khandan, has said the warning came in the usual form of a phone call from the Intelligence Ministry warning Nasrin’s attorney, Lady Ghanavi that arrest warrants have been issued for her and Khandan, should they participate in any interview with media they would be arrested.
My question:
Where are all the ABA folks, where on earth are the multitude of Iranian attorneys practicing outside Iran, when are these people going to make issue of how IRR is abusing their colleagues?
Why on behalf of their wrongfully imprisoned Iranian colleagues they don’t bring class action suite against IRR and its functionaries going after their personal assets outside Iran?
