Today, on 19 September, Homayoun Sabetara's case was heard before Greece's highest court, the Areios Pagos. In addition to the inadmissible witness testimony, the court will also examine the fact that Homayoun has been recognised as an asylum seeker, as well as five other grounds for appeal that argue in favour of an acquittal. These arguments strengthen Homayoun Sabetara's position.
This trial is not only crucial for Homayoun's case, but also for many similar cases. For the first time, two grounds for appeal are being examined that have never before been heard before this court.
The ruling is expected in three to six months.
