DUBAI (Reuters) – A verdict in Iran’s trial
of Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian could be issued within a
week, his lawyer was quoted by Iranian media as saying on Monday after
the fourth and last hearing behind closed doors.
Rezaian, who holds dual U.S. and Iranian citizenship, was
arrested over a year ago and charged with espionage. The Post has
dismissed the charges as “absurd” and urged the U.N. Human Rights
Council to help secure his release.
“This was the last hearing and we made the last defence.
The verdict most possibly will be issued within a week,” the Fars news
agency and other Iranian media quoted defence lawyer Leila Ahsan as
saying.
