Iranian Lawyer Who Investigated a Prisoner's Suspicious Death, Expecting the Court Decision

Iran Human Rights (Mar 16, 2018): Mohammad Najafi, the attorney at law who questioned the authorities' claim about a protester's "suicide" in prison, was charged and raised a defense at Branch 1 of Arak’s Interrogation Center. 

According to a close source, on the morning of Thursday, March 15, Mohammad Najafi, raised his last defence at Branch 1 of Arak’s Interrogation Center and expecting a court decision. 
His case was processed earlier at Shazand Judiciary. Mohammad Najafi, arrested on Monday, January 15, was investigating the suspicious death of Vahid Heidari, one of the detainees from Iran’s recent protests in Arak.
A close source told IHR, “Mohammad Najafi is facing nine charges, all of which he denies. The police have filed one of the charges.”
He also added, “It seems that the authorities are determined to charge him and they are very serious about it.”
Mohammad Najafi had earlier talked to IHR about Vahid Heidari’s death. He said, “Those who saw Vahid's body noticed a fracture and a bump on the left side of his head that could have been caused by a baton's blow to his head. They determined the burial place and didn't deliver any reports including forensics reports to the victim's family. There has been no explanation so far, and the family does not know anything else."
Mohammad Najafi is now held at ward 8 of Arak Central Prison, and his detention order has been extended recently
