Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of Iran’s judiciary, ordered the swift and deterrent punishment of those responsible for the riots.
Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of Iran’s judiciary, has asked judges to promptly proceed with the trial and deterrent punishment of the elements and instigators of the recent riots.
Officials of the Islamic Republic refer to protests as riots.
According to Mizan, he stated that the line between protesters and those influenced by emotions is separate from the main elements who committed crimes and are taking orders from the enemy.
While the Iranian government insists on executing protesters, the judicial processes in this country are non-transparent, and reports indicate the lack of access for defendants to appointed lawyers and the dominance of security agencies over some branches of the Revolutionary Court.
Despite all opposition to the continued execution of protesters in Iran, Mr. Ejei has instructed his first deputy in the Attorney General’s office to follow up daily on the completion of the files of the main elements of the recent riots and to provide the necessary assistance to the relevant judicial authorities responsible for completing these files.
