According to her husband Reza Khandan, Nasrin Sotoudeh, human rights lawyer was finally allowed to meet with her mother after 8 months incarceration at Evin prison.

Reza Khandan, Nasrin Sotoudeh’s husband posted the following news on his facebook page today: “Today, Saturday July 16th, 2011, Nasrin was finally allowed to meet with her mother after 8 months. The excessive number of stairs leading to the visitation room makes accessibility very difficult for the elderly.  As a result, Nasrin’s mother had not been able to meet with her daughter to date.”

Khandan described the memorable meeting as follows: “Today we had a face to face meeting and Nasrin shed tears of joy upon seeing her mother after 8 months.”

Nasrin Sotoudeh, lawyer and human rights activist has been incarcerated at Evin prison for over 10 months. In addition to meeting with her mother, Nasrin was allowed to visit with her 4 year old son Nima and her 11 year old daughter Mehraveh.  Khandan said: “Nasrin was not expecting to be allowed to meet with the children today.”
