Roozonline reporting from Iran:
An interview with the wife of Mr. Abdolfatah Soltani.

Behind the close door ! By: Maryam Kashani

As Mr. Abdolfatah Soltani , the lawyer is entering in his 145 days imprisonment in solitary confinement, his wife had an interview with "Rooz" and spoke about herself and her families in suspension.
She said: Two days ago I met him, he wasn't well physically, but had no problem mentally, but he also doesn't know what is the situation? and till when this situation will continue? he is also living in suspension.
Together with Mr. Soltani's lawyers , we met Mr. Mortazavi for several time , but since he is not going to change anything , I am not going to meet him again. However, we are planning to meet Mr. Shahrudi the head of Iran's judiciary power and ask him to help to solve the situation.Mr. Soltani has many clients and their cases are left without him, he is also a breadwinner of his family.
About the change on prosecutor, she said:Its been awhile that the prosecutor has been changed and there havent been new investigation to the case , only they have extended his provisionary imprisonement for another two months and the court has approved the order.
He is been 5 months in prison now , we have four kids who are in different level of education,they haven't seen their father for 145 days now, and all the time they are expecting the order will change, but nothing is hapening , it seems that all of us are behind the close door.
At the end she hope that this situation will end and no family will experience this bitter memory.
