          Iran postpones ‘reform' trial after lawyer request
          Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:33:36GM1
          Iran says the trial of those detained during protests
          over the disputed presidential election Will be postponed
          due to a request by lawyers of the defendants.
          Iran's court, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said
          With regards to a request put forward by more than 10
          lawyers defending the detainees, the trial Will be
          postponed for two days.
          The Thursday trial will be delayed until B am, Saturday,
          read the statement.
          The postponement comes as earlier Houshang Babaei,
          the lawyer of opposition activists Mostafa Tajzadeh,
          Mohsen Mirdamadi and Behzad Nabavi, said he would
          not attend the trial for his defendant.
          Babaei cited what he called the lack of respect for basic requirements of holding a trial as the reason for his
          refusal to attend.
          The lawyer mentioned visiting defendants in prison, having access to charges filed against the prisoner, and
          being granted enough time to defend the accused as the primary principles of holding a fair trial.
