Who are Hamid Nouri's defense lawyers? Thomas Bodstrom, along with Hannah Larson, as Hamid Nouri's lawyers, read their statements in his defense. What happened in the sixth and seventh sessions of the Court of Appeal? The sixth session of the appeal court of Hamid Nouri, an Iranian citizen detained in Sweden, was held on Monday, the third of February, and Hamid Nouri's lawyers defended him in this session. In this meeting, Hamid Nouri's lawyers, in a part of their statements, addressed the claims made by the plaintiffs' lawyers and also the Swedish prosecutor and the contradictions in the references to the mentioned documents. "Bodstrom" said in part of his speech: "We know there is a lot of information in this case that we will focus on; In relation to these initial questions, the proofs must be commented on with the same precision; This evidence is generally from books and articles written by people who are interested and not what is required judicially. Since the principle is based on acquittal, the prosecutor must present documents and evidence that without any reasonable doubt undermine the principle of acquittal. Hamid Nouri's lawyers emphasized: There are also a number of researchers who expressed their opinions, and in the academic and scientific world, there can be as many theories as there are researchers; Therefore, if we are talking about these researchers and when we are talking about the court, then these cannot be used as evidence. In another part, Hamid Nouri's lawyers said: "We are aware of the problem and there are researchers who have spoken in favor of the prosecutor, but many writers and researchers have also spoken the opposite, and this is where the appeals court should not simply choose which parts to accept and which parts not to accept. Also, in the seventh session, the main emphasis of Hamid Nouri's lawyers was on two issues of form and substance. Formally, they argued that both the prosecutor and the Swedish trial court merely received statements and claims from the suspects and witnesses, but did not take any action to match these claims with reality. According to Ms. Larson, one of Hamid Nouri's lawyers, "the court should not accept the claims made by people outside of Sweden regarding the trials that took place in another country so easily and without reason. The prosecutor should know that regarding the trials held in any country, the principle is their authenticity. It is the prosecutor who must be able to prove that the trials conducted are flawed by carefully examining the proceedings, issued sentences and records. This is despite the fact that the prosecutor did not conduct any investigation and only relied on materials that are not recognized as valid evidence in any court. What did the foreign lawyers of Hamid Nouri say in the court sessions? In terms of substance, Hamid Nouri's lawyers raised the following points: First: no person, including those mentioned in the indictment, has been arrested, detained, tried and punished in relation to the military operation claimed by the Swedish prosecutor. The people considered by the prosecutor in the indictment were arrested and tried in Iran for terrorist acts in the 1980s. Naturally, every other country reacts the same and even more strongly to terrorist acts. Second: No person was tried illegally or against the standards of the proceedings on the dates considered by the prosecutor in the indictment. So far, the Swedish prosecutor has not provided any evidence or documents that prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the trial was conducted against the standards of a fair trial. Since the prosecutor makes such a claim, he must present his court-friendly documents. Third: The trials that took place in the 1980s in Iran were conducted by a competent court and according to the law. In addition, there have been amnesty or forgiveness committees that, within the framework of Iran's legal system, acted only in the direction of granting amnesty or reducing punishment for convicts. These committees had no jurisdiction to judge. There are such committees in many countries, including Sweden and America. In no case has it been proven that these committees have issued punishment sentences such as imprisonment or execution to anyone. The lawyers also emphasized in the hearings that they provide documents that show that the punishment issued to the convicts was only by the competent court. Fourth: There is no connection between the trials and the military operations claimed by the Swedish prosecutor. Even the lawyer of the hypocrites raised this issue. Therefore, the claim made by the prosecutor that there is a "war crime" can be clearly rejected. Hamid Nouri's meeting with his family members and lawyers Hamid Nouri, an Iranian citizen detained in Sweden, met and talked with his family members and lawyers during the recent days and on the sidelines of several sessions of the Swedish Court of Appeal. General and important points in the first stage of Hamid Nouri appeal court The opening statements of the Swedish prosecutor in the last few sessions have proven the following well: - The Swedish prosecutor has not conducted any comprehensive and independent investigation. - The Swedish prosecutor's information about Iran's history, political system, and legal system is completely incorrect and based solely on unreal and incorrect information that the opponents provided to the Swedish prosecutor, so that the Swedish judicial system is a big challenge in the eyes of domestic opinion. and has faced international. - The design of this case is politically motivated and the documents and evidence related to it are political and non-judicial. The statements of Hamid Nouri's foreign lawyers were not only in defense of him but also in defense of the fundamental principles of fair proceedings. Aha believes that political issues should not have a negative impact on judicial independence and fair trial, and whoever makes any claim, the Swedish courts will also violate the principle of acquittal, regardless of fair trial standards. In addition, the statements of Hamid Nouri's lawyers were in the framework of fair proceedings and in support of the international rule of law. According to them, the Swedish court should not hear the trials that took place in another country without access to the records of the alleged cases by the plaintiffs. An important final point in the statements of Hamid Nouri's lawyers is the distinction between courts and amnesty committees. According to them, these committees, which are recognized in different legal systems, are basically in line with the protection of the convicted and the accused. By reading the comments made in the hearings of the Swedish Court of Appeals regarding Hamid Nouri's case, the expectation of public opinion and the international legal community is that the Swedish judiciary respects the right to a fair trial and its requirements, as well as the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
