detention;
Alleged arbitrary arrest, detention and sentencing to 11 years imprisonment of an
Iranian-British dual national following a trial that did not comply with international
standards. According to the information received, a 75-year-old Iranian-British dual
national was arrested on 5 May 2011 by five individuals who identified themselves as
“Entezami” officials and detained without charges during 45 days in Evin Prison,
Tehran. The five individuals did not show an arrest warrant or provide a reason for the
arrest. Two years later, in 2013, the person in question was tried by the Revolutionary
Court of Tehran and sentenced to 11 years imprisonment, including eight years for
espionage and three years for possessing alcohol at home. The individual was detained
several months without charge or trial, with only irregular access to legal counsel and
limited contact with family members. Even after having been charged, the individual
was not able to grasp the reason for such a detention and trial, and no evidence was
reportedly brought against the individual. . Grave concern has been expressed about the
individual’s physical and mental integrity.
