When is Soltanis' trial?

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi
Based on reports from the regime-run news agency ILNA, Massoumeh Dehqaan, wife of imprisoned defense attorney, Abdolfatah Soltani has criticized the regime for failure to investigate the accusations leveled against her husband. Seventy days since Soltani's "temporary" arrest has passed and there have been no developments.

Dehqaan said: "If my husband is guilty of misconduct why is it not being looked into. Otherwise, why is he still in detention? It appears that it is the public prosecutor himself who has a beef with my husband as my husband has spoken out against him; does the religious and common law permit the plaintiff and the judge to be the same person?"
