Committee of Human Rights Reporters – Human Rights lawyer and political prisoner Nasrin Sotoudeh was granted a 3-day prison leave after enduring 2 years and 3 months behind bars.
According to informed sources, this afternoon, Thursday January 17, 2013, Sotoudeh who had previously undergone a 49-day hunger strike, was released on bail of 300 million tomans. Nasrin Sotoudeh's mother passed away while she was behind bars and the law in Iran stipulates that a prisoner has the legal right to demand a 3-day furlough when a family member passes away.
Prominent human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh was arrested on September 4, 20010 and was charged with “acting against national security”, “collusion and propaganda against the regime”, “membership in Defenders of Human Rights Center.” She was sentenced to 6 years in prison, 20 years ban from practicing law, and 20 years ban from leaving the country. She was also fined 50,000 tomans on the charge of “bad hejab” (non-adherence to the Islamic dress code).
