One More Week in Trial of Defendants in Kahrizak Abuse Case?
The head of Tehran Criminal Courts, Judge Mohsen Eftekhari, says three defendants --- Presidential advisor Saeed Mortazavi and two senior judges --- have one week to provide the court with their defences.
Eftekhari said, after that, “the jury will decide on the verdict".
Earlier reports had indicated the defence had concluded its response, and the court had 10 days to deliver a decision.
The three men are accused of complicity in the abuse and killing of three post-election protesters at the Kahrizak detention centre after the disputed 2009 Presidential election.
