Student leaders hearing postponed

Tehran, Nov 30, IRNA -- An informed judiciary source told IRNA Friday that the hearing session of four student leaders of the Office to Foster Unity (OFU), majority fraction, formerly scheduled for Saturday Nov 30, has been postponed to an indefinite future date.

OFU's head of political bureau Saied Razavi-Faqih, as well as OFU Central Committee members Akbar Atri, Mehdi Aminzadeh and Abdullah Momeni were to attend Bench 26 of the Revolutionary Court on Saturday morning to answer the judge's questions on accusations brought up against them for accused violations during the recent student unrests in Tehran.

The accusations include "insulting President Khatami", "insulting the Islamic sanctities", and "acting against national security" during student gatherings staged to voice objection against death sentence issued against university Professor Seyed Hashem Aghajari.

The four had been arrested last Tuesday, but freed 24 later. The informed judiciary source who spoke on condition of anonymity told IRNA that the reason for postponing the hearing session is seeking more evidence on the student activists' political activities.

Razavi-Faqih who was interrogated for a whole day by the Revolutionary Court on Monday, prior to his Tuesday arrest has said in an interview with the Iranian Students New Agency (ISNA) that the court's treatment, unlike those who arrested the students on behalf of he court, was quite respectfully.
