The Ghanese and Nigerian authorities were not informed from the fact that their citizens were in prison.
Art.36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations says that Iran was required to report the arrest of Chindo and Aquwabe to their respective embassies “without delay” and give the suspects the right to seek assistance from their governments. Sources told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, however, that Iranian officials allegedly denied Chindo and Aquwabe this right and deprived the men of basic elements of a fair trial mandated by international law.
