Amnesty International said in a statement: “The right of torture victims to achieve justice is recognized by this court’s ruling in both the Shah and the Islamic Republic.”

In response to the ruling on Wednesday by the Federal Court of Florida to continue the legal proceedings in the case of Prozes Tabati, a senior official of Iran’s intelligence and security service, SAVAK, in the former ruling in Iran, the organization assessed this decision as a step towards “providing the legal ground for addressing repressions” and “ending impunity.”
