El fet que Salavati acurtés extremadament el treball de la defensa, i que es negués a deixar la dona i la mare de Rezaian assistir als procediments a porta tancada és un altra indicador de la imparcialitat del procés judicial i de la natura política del judici.
Salavati’s sharp curtailment of the work of the defense, and his refusal to allow Rezaian’s wife and mother to witness the closed-door proceedings is yet another indication of the impartiality of the judicial process and the political nature of the prosecution of Rezaian.
