Lawyers for her family told Radio Farda that they have exposed flaws in the probe.

Kazemi was arrested while photographing a protest outside Evin prison in Tehran and died in detention, reportedly as a result of violence.

In 2005, the Iranian Judiciary acquitted an intelligence agent accused of the crime.
