IRN 26/2014 06/11/2014 Iran (Islamic JAL Republic of) Freedom of expression; Human rights defenders; Independence of judges and lawyers; Iran; Allegations of a ban on the legal practice of a prominent lawyer and human rights defender in the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to the information received, on 19 October 2014, the Iranian Bar Association revoked the license of Ms. Nasrin Sotoudeh and imposed a three year ban on her practice as a lawyer. Ms. Sotoudeh had been released from prison on 18 September 2014, after having served half of her six year sentence imposed on charges including “acting against national security” and “propaganda against the system”. Concerns are raised that the ban imposed on Ms. Sotoudeh not only represents a setback in her case, but also sets a dangerous precedent regarding the arbitrary disqualification of human rights activists and lawyers in the future. Ms. Sotoudeh was the subject of four previous communications sent on 19 November 2010, see A/HRC/16/44/Add.1, para. 1272-1276; on 23 December 2010, see A/HRC/19/44, case no. 35/2010; on 11 October 2011, see A/HRC/19/44, case no. 13/2011; and on 27 July 2012, A/HRC/22/67, case no.
