Mohammad Jandaghi made the announcement following a meeting with Tehrans Public Prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi.
Abdolfattah Soltani was representing the family of slain Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi who was murdered inside Evin Prison in July 2003. There were suggestions that Prosecutor Mortazavi was Kazemis killer and last Monday, Soltani clearly pointed the finger at him for the murder.
Mortazavi subsequently issued an arrest warrant for Soltani on charges of being a nuclear spy and the human rights lawyer was detained while protesting at the TBA building the actions against him.
Ward 209 of Evin Prison is exclusively set aside for political prisoners.
