Copyright Lawsuit: Defendants are continuously attacked, assaulted - 2010-12-31
Posted January 6th, 2011 by heritageDefendants Nagib Tajdin and Alnaz Jiwa have been continuously attacked and assaulted since the beginning of the Lawsuit.
Verbal and printed attacks against the defendants in Public and in Jamatkhanas are well-known. Reports of physical attacks are now coming to light.
Again, these attacks go against all of Hazar Imam's teachings. In light of the stand of the Imam during the Discovery in October 2010, there is no valid reason for these senseless attacks to continue.

Posted September 4th, 2010 by heritageHeritage News has obtained the cross-examination transcripts, and they contain many revelations.
