"We are against her detention and extradition to the US, specially when she is
not in good health conditions and is pregnant and is facing many restrictions in
access (to medical care), nutrition and medical issues," Larijani said on
Monday.
Noting that detention and extradition of Negar Qods Kani to the US is not
acceptable, he described it as a violation of the international laws and norms.
Larijani said that he has contacted Australian officials over the case, asking
them to practice self-restraint and receive the necessary judiciary and
intelligence information from Iran.
Negar Qods Kani, an Iranian woman residing in Australia, has been jailed by the
Australian judicial officials since June 16, 2017 over alleged charges of
violating the US commercial laws.
In time of her arrest, Negar was pregnant and now she is in her last months of
pregnancy facing inappropriate conditions inside the prison such as poor access
to healthy foods.
Australian officials have ignored Iran’s repeated calls for improving her
conditions and the court handling her case has recently ruled out her appeal for
freedom on bail.
