The trial of Dr. Farzad Hamidi, who had been arrested once again, after joining a protest of families of political prisoners in front of the Tehran branch of the U.N., reopened on Saturday, Oct. 8th at branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran.

Hamidi's defense attorney, Khalil Bahramian, in an interview with a reporter from regime-run news agency, ILNA, said: "I had requested for a hearing for today; we have no date for the next session however." He said that his client had been charged with "Action Against National Security", though Hamidi is free on bail for now.
