TEHRAN, 9th May: Iran will put three Americans facing espionage charges on trial on Wednesday 11th May, the state IRIB TV website has reported.
"If there is no problem, and if there is no request from the lawyer of detainees (to postpone), the trial session will be held on time," said Iranian Judiciary spokesman Gholm-Hossein Mohseni- Ejei.
In February, an Iranian court held a close-door trial of three detained Americans, Josh Fattal, Sarah Shourd and Shane Bauer, who were arrested in Iran on 31st July 2009 for illegally entering Iran 's western border and were later charged with espionage. The U.S. government considered the charges totally unfounded.
