Baha’i leaders make second court appearance

GENEVA, 7 February (BWNS) - Seven imprisoned Baha’i leaders appeared in
court today in Iran for a second session of their trial.

The session was once again closed, and family members were not permitted in
the courtroom, the Baha’i International Community has learned.

The hearing, which lasted just over one hour, does not seem to have gone
beyond procedural issues. No date was given for any future sessions.

The seven were arrested nearly two years ago and have been held in Tehran’s
Evin prison since that time, spending the first year there without formal
charges or access to lawyers.

After several postponements, their trial officially began on 12 January,
when the seven were arraigned in Branch 28 of the Revolutionary Court in
Tehran.

That session was also closed to the public, but accounts in
government-sponsored news media said the defendants were formally charged
with espionage, propaganda activities against the Islamic order, the
establishment of an illegal administration, cooperation with Israel, sending
secret documents outside the country, acting against the security of the
country, and corruption on earth.

All the charges have been categorically denied. The defendants are Mrs.
Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr. Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr. Afif Naeimi, Mr. Saeid
Rezaie, Mrs. Mahvash Sabet, Mr. Behrouz Tavakkoli, and Mr. Vahid Tizfahm.
