On April 24, 2007, a day after Delara Darabi's execution order was approved by the Distinctions Branch of Iran's Supreme Court, Mino Hemati of Rahai-Zan TV and SaveDelara! Campaign spoke with Delara's lawyer, Mr. Abdolsamad Khoramshahi. Mr. Khoramshahi emphasized that the way to save Delara is via legal means. With respect to the manner by which Delara was found guilty, he explained " confession is only worth anything when the confession matches the evidence! The court should not accept any and all "confessions." Even though Delara provided a confession, we must determine whether this is really the truth of the matter, could Delara have been the murderer? According to the investigations, it was clear that Delara is left-handed and the stab wounds were on the right side of the victim. And this occurred when Delara's friend was standing between Delara and the victim! Close examination by the police revealed that Delara could have in no way inflicted these wounds. So from a logical and physical stand point, Delara's confession has absolutely no value. And the plan was that this matter would be recreated (in court). That is how our plea to the first court was: That if Delara was proved to be left-handed, then the crime scene would be recreated in court so that it could be shown whether Delara could have done this with her left hand. Unfortunately, for reasons that are still not clear to us, this recreation never occurred despite the fact that it was proven that Delara is left-handed." You can read the transcript of the interview here. I have also attached the audio file of the interview, which is in Farsi.
