| for Atena Faraghdani, lawyer |
After Atena Faraghdani’s lawyer shook his client’s hands
in their meeting, and this relationship was considered an illegitimate
relationship by state officials, a court date has been assigned to see into
such allegations. 10 am next Saturday in branch 116 of Tehran’s general
criminal court is the time set for this case.
It is worth noting that Mohammad
Moghimi will be represented by Houshang Pourbabaie. These allegations, along
with insults by prison guards, led Faraghdani to go on hunger strike for three
days while in prison.
It should be noted that
Faraghdani’s mother described such behavior that harassed her daughter in
prison as “false allegations” and “illegal and against sharia”.
After spending two months in
detention of the Revolutionary Guards, Faraghdani had said her critical
cartoons were the main aspect of interrogations against her. She is currently
held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison.
