| Atena Farghadani |
The
appeals court of civil activist Atena Farghadani, currently detained in
Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison, was held on Sunday, December 29.
Her
lawyer, Mohammad Moghimi, has said he met with his client on December 15 in
Evin Prison in order to prepare her defense. Farghadani, imprisoned since
January 10, was sentenced to 12 years and 9 months behind bars in a court
chaired by judge Salavati.
Her
charges include “insulting members of parliament through drawings,” “assembly
and collusion with anti-revolution figures” and “insulting the leader of the
Islamic republic”.
Farghadani
said earlier this year after being held in a Revolutionary Guards prison for
two months that her critical drawings were the main subject of the
interrogations. She is currently being held in the women’s ward of Evin Prison.
