Hamid Noury: From Arrest to Life Imprisonment, Deljou Abadi, September 11, 2022
As the director of Iranian Refugees’ Alliance, Inc., Deljou Abadi has since 1993 authored many reports and articles on the conditions of Iranian refugees worldwide and represented many refugee claimants before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the European Court of Human Rights. Her research on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s death penalty system began in mid 2000s and has since culminated in several submissions to UN Human Rights Council’s thematic and treaty-based mechanisms. In the past two years Abadi has authored several articles on the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran as well as on the prosecution and trial proceedings of Hamid Noury, the only perpetrator of this mass atrocity crime so far held accountable. Her recent article “Anatomy of Hamid Noury’s 198-page Life Imprisonment Verdict,” describes the structure and key elements of Stockholm District Court’s July 14, 2022 written verdict against Hamid Noury.
