Iran Judiciary Concludes Investigation, Demands “Written Work”
August 13th, 2007The Associated Press provides the latest update on Haleh’s case:
Iran’s judiciary has concluded investigations into two detained Iranian-Americans accused of conspiring against the country’s security, a top judiciary official said. But no decision has been made on whether they will be put on trial, he said.
“Investigation into Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbakhsh is over,” said Tehran Deputy Prosecutor Hasan Haddad late Sunday, according to the official IRNA news agency.
Haddad said the two scholars now had “some written work” to do before a decision is made about their fate. He did not explain what written work would be required from the two scholars, who have been detained since May in Tehran’s Evin prison, notorious for the harsh conditions under which it holds political prisoners.
“The two have some written work to do. Then, a decision will be taken about them,” Haddad said.
