🔶 Sato: Violation of a fair trial is structured and institutionalized in Iran

The UN special rapporteur on human rights affairs in Iran says that the violation of the principles of due process in the Islamic Republic is not a temporary phenomenon or limited to recent interceptions, but has "long precedents" and is institutionalized in Iran's judicial structure.

May Sato, the UN special rapporteur on human rights affairs for Iran, referring to several cases related to protesters and death sentences, said that the violation of the principles of fair justice in the Republic of Salami is not a temporary phenomenon or limited to the recent interceptions, but has "long precedents" and is institutionalized in Iran's judicial structure.

Sato wrote in a tweet that arbitrary arrests, torture and abuse during interrogation, the use of confessions that were likely coerced, the accused's limited access to the chosen lawyer, the closed courts in the branches of the Revolutionary Court and the non-publication of verdicts, all have the right to weaken.
