Interview:
Mr. Dadkhah , does assigning the case file of Zahra Kazemi to suprem court means reopening and following of this file?
Mohammad Ali Dadkhah: Yes, almost can be coceived that the file is now going to be looked at , although legally its been happening with delay, but we hope based on legal measures of reasons and understandings that we put forward for the suprem court , we will arrive to a positive result.
Mr. Dadkhah , Was this a result of pressures and efforts by you and other lawyers of Kazemi's family or it was a move by judiciary power itself ?
Mohammad Ali Dadkhah: No, the file was not going anywher in the court , i should say that ; our demands and the rights of the family members was the force behind reopening the case again.
Dr. Seifzadeh another family lawyer of Zahra Kazemi have announced that : This file was given to a council in suprem court for study and preparation of report, Mr. Dadkhah, what will be clarified by this report ?
Mr. Dadkhah: This report will identify the past process of the file and also it will be a start for the suprem court to make a decision.
From the legal stand point , when a file like the death of Zahra Kazemi's can become closed or be called as closed?
Mr. Dadkhah: the verdict must be the final one or peremptory , meaning, the file will arrive to a point that there won't be possibility to follow further or it will come to a stage that we won't be able to protest to a higher body , but so far this file havn't been arrived to both of these points.
Mr. Dadkhah , that means in judiciary power's stand point , the file of Zahra Kazemi is not yet closed?
Mr. Dadkhah: Correct, I must tell, based on the law over the file , this file is still open and the judiciary power must decide about it.
