7 Baha'is go on trial in Iran for 'spying' for Israel

Seven members of the Baha'i faith will go on trial on Tuesday for 'spying' for Israel.
Trial of seven Baha'is accused of spying and insulting sanctities will be held on Tuesday August 18 and with the presence of their lawyers however Shrin Ebadi one of their lawyers is not in Iran at the moment and the other one Abdolfattah Soltani is in jail himself(he was arrested during the post-election events) so Hasan Hadad , in charge of security affairs of Teheran's prosecutor office said other lawyer of these 7 citizens will be in court.
I wonder who will represent them. Last week, Iran executed several lawyers who were representing people arrested for opposing the regime. JPost quoting Reuters quoting the Iranian news agency IRNA adds:
"The trial of the seven Baha'is accused of spying for the Zionist regime and insulting sanctities will be held on Tuesday," IRNA quoted Hassan Haddad, in charge of security affairs of Teheran's prosecutor office, as saying.

Iran has reportedly claimed that the group received orders from Jerusalem to undertake measures against the Islamic republic.
I wonder how much time the 'court' plans to devote to the 'trial.'

The Baha'is are to mullahs what the Jews were to the Nazis, They hate them and any excuse will do to wipe them out. We've seen this before.

What could go wrong indeed
