According to Atiyeh Nouri, court officials cited security issues for barring them from attending the session, and directed them to a “glass room behind the court room”, she told IRNA.
She also criticized the “injustice” taking place during the trial of her father.
“Despite the fact that the appeals court is meeting on my father’s case at the request of his lawyers, none of them has spoken yet during the four sessions of the court, and only prosecutors have spoken,” Atiyeh Nouri said.
“My father spoke only for several minutes during the first court session. He protested the conditions he has been facing during 38 months of solitary confinement. But the judge did not allow him to continue his remarks,” she added.
At the beginning of that session held on January 11, Hamid Nouri said that he would not stand trial in Swedish courts as long as authorities of that country refuse to address his problems, calling his trial process unfair.
According to his son, Majid Nouri, the Swedish judge ordered Hamid Nouri's microphone to be turned off after he complained about his conditions.
Hamid Nouri then continued to speak loudly, his son said, adding that his father was then expelled from the court, with the session going on in the absence of him.
Hamid Nouri, an Iranian judicial employee, was detained in November 2019 upon arrival at Stockholm Airport.
The Swedish government has accused him of human rights violations based on allegations leveled by anti-Iran terrorist group, Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO).
Nouri along with Iranian authorities have rejected those accusations as false and politically-motivated.
Nouri has time and again complained about the conditions he faces in custody, saying that he is kept in solitary confinement while he is denied medical care for the eye problems he is suffering from.
