Date on for Iranians and Supreme Court judges in terrorism caseIranian nationals Sayed Mansour Mousavi and Ahmad Abolfathi Mohammad at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ordered that Nasrollah and Gholi , accused of terrorism, should be within the country but should be treated in a humane manner. During the hearing, lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi, appearing for the two, was opposed to the Supreme Court entertaining the appeal. “This court cannot assume jurisdiction to hear the application by the prosecution if there is no leave from the Court of Appeal granted to them,” lawyer Abdullahi said. The two had been jailed for life by the magistrate’s court but after a spirited appeal before the High Court, the sentence was reduced to 15 years.
