One has since been released, but the remaining three are still being held.Rezaian was informed on Nov. 18 that investigations into him are continuing, and that he will be held in pretrial detention for another two months, according to Human Rights Watch.
The NGO also said it had been informed that the lawyer hired by Rezaian’s family to defend the journalist has not been allowed to speak with him or review the case file.
Rezaian is said not to have had access to a translator during his interrogation, despite his inability to read or write Persian.
