The well-known Iranian lawyer Mohammad Oliaei-Fard has agreed to appear as an expert witness in the trial of Hamid Nouri in Stockholm. Oliaeifard, a member of the Tehran Bar Association now residing in Canada, advises IranWire on matters related to Iranian domestic criminal law and the prisons regulations.

Oliaeifard is expected to appear via videolink at a hearing scheduled for Thursday, March 24 to present and take questions on a 15-page report examining the extent of Nouri’s culpability in the state-sponsored mass murders of political dissidents committed at Gohardasht and Evin prisons in summer 1988.

Hamid Nouri was arrested in November 2019 while on a visit to Sweden after a complaint by a private plaintiff. He is accused by Swedish prosecutors of war crimes and murder for his alleged part in the massacre as a then-prison official. So far 71 hearings linked to the case have taken place at Stockholm District Court. Nouri continues to deny the charges against him.
