Case of a French citizen Benjan Bier, detained in Iran in May 2020 on suspicion of espionage and “propaganda against the Iranian political system” will be transferred to the revolutionary court. About this Agence France Press reported on Sunday Bier Seid Dekhan.
“At the end of the investigation, the prosecutor’s office confirmed the accusations, and the prosecutor prepares a conviction, after which it will be transferred to the revolutionary court for the further process,” the attorney TASS quotes.
According to AFP, a citizen of France is currently in the prison of Mashhad. According to a lawyer, the brier was detained in connection with the “photographs of prohibited territories”, which he did with the help of an unmanned apparatus in the natural park in Iran. According to the relatives of the briera, he was arrested when crossing the Iranian border while traveling on a van.
In Iran, espionage is considered a particularly heavy crime and punishable by the death penalty, and for “propaganda against the political system” punishment can be from three months to one year in prison.
