The Accused Rests - Aged ex-Premier Dr. Mohammed Mossadeq, who has been weeping, fainting and shouting his defence on treason charges, lies exhausted on a bench in the court after a long session. In defence Mossadegh has said that as Prime Minister he had issued a decree rendering illegal his present trial before an Army court. He claimed to have issued more than 200 judicial decrees, and stated "It you want to disregard this one, you must disregard all the rest." November 12, 1953. (Photo by United Press Photo).
