The Iranian American Bar Association released a white paper this week outlining the rights of detainees and accused persons in the legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The paper is a valuable resource for those unfamiliar with the inner workings of Iran’s judicial system.
Authored by Navid Sato, an Iranian S.JD candidate at the American University in Washington, D.C, the paper is intended “to educate the non-legal community outside of Iran about the legal rights enjoyed by detained persons in Iran.”
