Amnesty: Lawyer in Iranian stoning case missing

None

Amnesty International says the lawyer defending a woman sentenced to death by stoning has apparently gone missing, and two of his relatives have been detained.

 

The London-based rights group says the lawyer, Mohammad Mostafaei, was summoned for questioning at Tehran's Evin prison on Saturday, released, then asked to return. Amnesty says it's not known whether he complied but he hasn't been seen since. (AP)
