Mohammad Kamfirouzi, the brother of Mohammad Ali Kamfirouzi, a detained lawyer, has stated that he has not been allowed to make phone calls in the past week. He has written that this situation has caused the family to worry about his health and the illegal pressure being exerted on him.
Mohammad Ali Kamfirouzi is the lawyer for Niloufar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi, two detained journalists, but during their detention, he was unable to have any contact with his clients and repeatedly described these actions as illegal and a violation of his clients’ basic rights.
