Jan. 12 Trial Date Set For Bahá’ís in Iran
Tehran, IRAN
16 December 2009
Attorneys have received word that the trial of seven Bahá’ís imprisoned since the spring of 2008 has been scheduled for 12 January. Two previous dates had been announced, but the trial was postponed each time.
Attorneys associated with the Defenders of Human Rights Center in Tehran – co-founded by Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi – are representing the Bahá’ís.
