Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer and member of the Human Rights Defenders Center, announced on her Facebook page on Thursday, August 29, that a judicial summons was issued to her last Sunday, which was very similar to a summons for a defendant. However, she added that the word 'summons' was not mentioned on that document. According to this statement, the reason for Ms. Sotoudeh's summons to the second branch of the Evin Prosecutor's Office is related to the charges listed in her case file. In an interview with Nasrin Sotoudeh in Tehran, I initially asked about how she received this summons. The interview was conducted by Hossein Ghoimi and is available on Radio Farda.
