Niloufar Bahadorifar was the conduit for money used to hire a private detective who shadowed journalist Masih Alinejad
Ms. Bahadorifar’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, said after the hearing that his client was not cooperating with the government. “She simply has no information to provide about the kidnapping charges,” he said. “When terrorist leaders aren’t slaughtering their own people,” he said, “they’re traveling the globe trying to kill their critics, including the despicable manipulation of Ms. Bahadorifar by an old family friend.” “Instead of the world offering concessions, we should finally be ending this cancerous regime,” he said.
