Iran’s attorney general writes to Sweden about violations of imprisoned citizens’ rights
In his letter, the senior judicial official described the illegal measures taken by Sweden in violation of Nouri’s human rights and called on the country’s legal apparatus to follow the principles of fair prosecution when handling the prisoner’s appeal.
“One of the most important tasks of prosecutors, in addition to protecting public rights and defending public safety, is to create justice and provide the necessary platform for the rights of the accused to self-defense,” the letter states.
Nouri, the letter said, “was held in solitary confinement for a long time, while consular access was denied. He was abused and tortured by prison officials and denied access to a doctor, all of which constitute gross violations of the basic rights of all defendants.”
During the trial, the attorney general wrote, members of the notorious terrorist group Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has the blood of over 17,000 Iranians on its hands, testified as “witnesses.”
The terrorist group, it added, is organizing a gathering outside the court, where the trial was going on, which is influencing the court psychologically and encouraging it to give life sentence to the accused.
“In accordance with its legal obligations to defend the rights of Iranian citizens, the Prosecutor’s Office will use all legal possibilities to prove the flagrant violation of Hamid Nouri’s inalienable rights and will continue its opposition to this distorted verdict that violates fundamental international laws until the full realization of his rights, the letter said.
