WaPo Editorial: Jason Rezaian Held in 'Blatant Violation of Iran’s Own Laws'
Still no verdict in a trial that concluded Aug. 10.
A Washington Post editorial called out the Iranian government for going against its own laws in keeping Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian imprisoned and failing to deliver a timely verdict in his espionage trial, which concluded on Aug. 10.
Iranian law says a verdict must be issued within a week of a trial’s conclusion. It also says no suspect may be held for more than one year without conviction. Yet Mr. Rezaian remained in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison on Monday, 405 days after his arrest, and no verdict in his case has been announced.
