This Is Ridiculous
It seems Iran is persecuting people to be persecuting. You can’t defend a client because you can go to jail too. Hello, what is wrong with that picture?
Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is under arrest and under a sentence of death due to his belief in Christianity and not Islam. Now his attorney Mohammad Ali Dadkhah has been sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Prominent human rights advocate and attorney Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, who represents the Christian pastor sentenced to death in Iran in a case that sparked international condemnation, has reportedly been sentenced to nine years in jail for allegedly “acting against national security” in Iran.
Dadkhah has represented several political and human rights activists jailed since Iran’s 2009 disputed elections, including Youcef Nadarkhani, the Iranian pastor charged with apostasy and sentenced to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity.
“I have been convicted of acting against the national security, spreading propaganda against the regime and keeping banned books at home,” Dadkhah told the Guardian. Dadkhah has also reportedly been banned from teaching at universities or practicing law for 10 years.
