Written statement on features of documents issued by courts in Iran (German) ("Gerichtliche Dokumente aus dem Iran ") [#17824], [ID 8445]
"Es ist bekannt geworden, dass viele der offiziellen Dokumente des iranischen Gerichtssystems keine signifikanten Sicherheitsmerkmale wie offizielle Unterschriften, offizielle Stempel, Wasserzeichen, Hologramme oder Stichcodes nach europäischen Standards tragen. Dies wurde von der Einwanderungsbehörde in einem offiziellen Verfahren anerkannt, welches im September 2000 beim Berufungsgericht der USA hinterlegt wurde:
“A clear statement of legitimate reasons for rejecting documents is especially important in a case like this, where the reasons for the Laboratory's inability to authenticate the documents may be applied to a broad range of authentic documents from any country. Indeed, many official documents from our own court system could not pass the Laboratory's test of bearing "significant security features," since they do not always bear authentication signatures, official seals, watermarks, or the more technically sophisticated security features like holograms or bar codes.”
Aus einer Stellungnahme des Auswärtigen Amtes (AA) der Bundesrepublik Deutschland geht klar hervor, dass es im Iran Schreiben zur Vorladung von Privatpersonen vor das Revolutionsgericht gibt. Wenn dass BFF behauptet, dass Vorladungen als Original nicht Privatpersonen ausgehändigt werden, dann kann es sich unter Umständen um eine Verwendung von Informationen aus diesem Schreiben handeln: Ein vom AA geprüftes Schreiben erwies sich als ein rein behördliches Schreiben an eine Polizeidienststelle, welches somit nicht für eine Privatperson gedacht war. Dies bedeutet aber nicht, dass Schreiben zur Vorladung vor das Revolutionsgericht nicht auch an Privatpersonen im Original vergeben werden.

Danish Immigration Service: An attempt is always made to deliver a summons ("Report on fact-finding mission to Iran; 9 - 17 September 2000") [#9593], [ID 8446]
"According to Dr Shariatbagheri, an attempt is always made to deliver a summons to appear before a
court to the addressee in person. If the person concerned is not there, however, the summons may
be delivered to a family member. If there is nobody present who can accept the summons, it is
taken back to the court, where the judge decides whether an attempt should be made to arrest the
person concerned. Such a decision depends on the nature of the case. However, a person may not
be arrested without a written order from a judge."

Danish Immigration Service: Arrest warrants ("Report on fact-finding mission to Iran; 9 - 17 September 2000") [#9593], [ID 8448]
"Dr Shariatbagheri added that the Public Courts have the power to issue arrest warrants in all types
of cases unless the case in question falls under the jurisdiction of the Revolutionary Court. The
arrest warrant is sent by the Public Court to the relevant police station, which is responsible for
arresting the person concerned. The arrest warrant is shown to the person under arrest but not
served. It is subsequently returned to the issuing court.
Forms used for issuing arrest warrants are printed at a special government printing house. The form
is completed by hand and contains the following information about the person under arrest:
• First name and surname
• Address
• Occupation
• Father's name
• ID-card number
Once it has been completed, the form is stamped and signed by the court. Only one arrestee can be
covered by the form. The reason for the issuing of the arrest warrant is not normally stated."
