Hollywood star Leonardo
DiCaprio has voiced his support for eight environmentalists
jailed in Iran for more than a year on ambiguous charges of
“spying”.
In a tweet on February 6, DiCaprio
calls for support for the detainees who went on trial last month, some
facing serious charges, which could lead to death penalty.

One of
the conservationists died in suspicious circumstances in prison days after his
arrest last in January 2018.
DiCaprio also calls on his
followers to sign
a petition for the release of the Iranian environmentalists who have been
arrested by the intelligence organization of Iran’s Islamic Revolution
Guards Corps, IRGC.

Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, which is
separate from the IRGC has said that there is no evidence against the detainees
and members of parliament have also come to their defense but the hardliner IRGC
and the Judiciary continue with the prosecution of the environmental
activists.
As is the case in all “security” related trials, the accused
do have the right to choose their defense attorney. The Judiciary appoints
lawyers from a small pool of selected individuals.
