The head of the Tehran Justice Department said Wednesday that a court will hear the case of Iranian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi starting July 17. He told IRNA that all preliminary investigations conducted on her death have already been finished and the necessary documents to be presented in court are ready.
The case of the death of Zahra Kazemi, who worked as a freelance photojournalist for a Canadian news media, was first referred to the criminal court in Tehran for investigation after Tehran public and revolutionary as well as military courts refused to handle it on the ground it was outside their jurisdiction.
A first hearing on the case was held by the criminal court on October 2, 2003. Five people were arrested for alleged involvement in her death on warrants issued by the court. Four were later released for lack of evidence.
