8. I was not referring to the people on trial
I was referring to the chorus of world leaders from Riyadh to Bonn to Beijing who will hold off on their criticism of the dictators in Iran in the face of this false excuse.

It's pretty obvious that the people on trial are under duress - and I would say it's far more likely that they are worrying about direct threats to their families than about their own well-being (although that's certainly something to worry about).
