A door closed and no consular presence, has launched today the trial of three American hikers to which Iran is accused of espionage and illegally entering the country. Joshua Fattal, Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd have pleaded guilty to the charges against them, but the prosecution says it has "solid evidence" that the three are cooperating with U.S.
intelligence agencies. UU. In the Islamic Republic, that offense is punishable by death. No date has been set for the next hearing. Data from the trial, which began at ten o'clock before the Tehran Revolutionary Court, were met through PressTV, Iranian television in English that often gives the confessions of those involved in cases with international resonance.
The site of this chain has shamelessly titled "Iran begins the trial of three U.S. spies", assuming the outcome of the process. Fattal, Bauer and Shourd were arrested by Iranian border guards on July 31, 2009 on charges of illegally crossing to Iran from the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Shourd, which was released on bail of half a million dollars in September, has not gone to the subpoena. However, PressTV reported that his attorney "made a statement on his behalf." All three have pleaded not guilty, but the chain says the Tehran prosecutor's office has "solid evidence" that all they cooperated with U.S.
intelligence agencies. "I studied all the details and I am sure my clients are not guilty and that the charge of espionage has no basis," said Masud reporters Shafii, the lawyer who represents them. In his opinion, "even if they entered illegally, they could not know because the border is not marked." Shafii was unable to see their clients in the last four months to prepare a defense.
Today who has not had access to these has been the ambassador of Switzerland, Livia Leu Agosti, who despite not being invited, has decided to court. "The authorities have not allowed me to attend the trial," said the agency Irna. During this year and a half of detention, Leu Agosti itself has been able to visit Americans in jail on several occasions.
Switzerland represents U.S. interests in Iran since the two countries broke diplomatic ties after the Islamic revolution. In these 32 years, relations have not improved and if the hikers have led to further exchanges of accusations, which have raised fears that detainees could become a political deadlock restructuring.
