Geneva-Based Newspaper Tribune de Genève Spotlights FARLEGAL’s High-Profile Murder Case

Geneva-based newspaper Tribune de Genève recently published an article spotlighting one of FARLEGAL's high-profile cases: the wrongful prosecution of a Christian minister accused of murder by the Geneva Public Prosecutor's Office. This complex case involves intricate legal and factual issues set against the backdrop of an international extradition.


As the defense counsel for the wrongfully accused individual, Shayan Farhad shared insights into the challenges surrounding the case. A focal point of the article is the contentious issue of our client’s pre-trial detention, as ordered by the Geneva Tribunal des mesures de contrainte and upheld on appeal by the Criminal Court of Justice (Chambre pénale de recours). Shayan Farhad discussed the highly problematic aspects of the court’s decision to deny bail, drawing attention to how the ruling reflects broader systemic issues faced by foreign individuals in Switzerland. She pointed out that, like her client, many non-Swiss individuals face significant barriers when defending their rights in the Swiss criminal legal system. She highlighted the Swiss criminal authorities’ failure to apply the law and to ensure fair treatment for all individuals, regardless of their citizenship or background.


Beyond the issue on detention, Shayan Farhad emphasized the existence of material evidence in the case which refutes the Geneva public prosecutor's thesis in this case, further demonstrating the wrongful nature of our client's murder charge.


As the case progresses, Shayan Farhad remains committed to advocating fiercely for her client until justice is restored.
