Iran: illegal

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said that the conviction of blogger Hossein Derakhkshan to 19½ years in prison has no basis in evidence.
An informed source told the Campaign that Derakhshan’s lawyer did not have full access to his file in order to review its details.
The Campaign demanded the overturning of the verdict by an appeals court.
She also demanded the immediate suspension of Judge Abolghassem Salavati, who issued Derakhshan’s verdict, on grounds of deviation from judicial standards and procedures in this and numerous other cases.
A portion of evidence for Derakhshan’s alleged crimes consisted of a letter of recommendation for university written by Gary Sick, a Columbia University faculty member.The content of Derakhshan’s blog, operated outside of Iran, is another basis for his harsh sentence.
