Amir Raisian, Tomaj Salehi’ lawyer, wrote in this regard: The court session on the charges against Tomaj Salehi was held in the Isfahan Prosecutor’s Office this morning. Tomaj participated the session through video conference and answered the questions of the case investigator in the presence of lawyers.
Previously, Mr Salehi’s case was returned from the court to the prosecutor’s office due to flawed investigation.
