Opinion: Add wildlife conversation to the list of capital offenses in Iran
Iran's then-foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in Geneva on Nov. 28, 2018. By Jason Rezaian Jason Rezaian Global Opinions writer Email Bio Follow Global Opinions writer February 26 at 1:07 PM International pressure to end the imprisonment of eight environmentalists in Iran is mounting as the farcical trial against them lumbers on. Prosecutors claim that the group spied on some of Iran’s most sensitive military installations at the behest of the CIA and Mossad.
They might realize one day how ridiculous these trials appear to the outside world, but the empty spectacle will go on as long as Zarif or others persist in defending the baseless arrests of dual nationals or those accused of having foreign contacts. Concerned onlookers should be hammering at one obvious point: Any trial in which there is no jury, no credible evidence and no witnesses cannot be just. In the meantime, though, innocent lives are shattered.
