"Iman Soleimani," a lawyer and a lawyer for Christian citizens, was summoned to the Bandar Mahshahr Prosecutor's Office.
According to a report published by the "Dadban Educational and Legal Consulting Center", Mr. Soleimani must appear at the aforementioned branch on January 16, in accordance with a summons issued to him by the Second Investigation Branch of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Bandar Mahshahr.
Iman Soleimani is a lawyer who represents and defends a group of Christian citizens and prisoners of conscience. She has defended Christian citizens (especially those who converted from Islam to Christianity) who were accused of “propaganda against the system” and “acts against national security” without any evidence and were then sentenced to prison.
According to the statements of "Hossein Ahmadiniyaz", a lawyer and member of the International Bar Association, who has also represented many prisoners of conscience, regarding the summons of Iman Soleimani, he said: "Mr. Lawyer Iman Soleimani is a lawyer who has honorably and pro bono represented many cases of Christian converts and has always been the subject of monitoring, threats, and unofficial summons by the security and judicial authorities of the Islamic Republic, who have recently officially summoned him.
"I have reliable information that they have threatened him several times to resign and not accept Christian converts, but he has not succumbed to these illegal threats and demands and is adhering to his oath of office and honorable defense. Therefore, his summons is in line with the regime's systematic and targeted suppression of honorable lawyers."
Hossein Ahmadi also added regarding the suppression of lawyers by judicial authorities: "The peak of the historical suppression of lawyers in Iran. It can be said with absolute certainty that the suppression of Iranian lawyers by the Islamic Republic regime in the Women, Life, and Freedom movement is unparalleled in the world, and no country in the world or throughout history has imposed such suppression against lawyers."
