Masoud Steachi, a spokesman for the Iranian court, stated today, Tuesday, that more than a thousand charges connected to the riots in the country have lately been charged, coinciding with the ongoing protests in several Iranian towns.
Iran has been experiencing demonstrations ever since a young woman named Muhsa Amini died while being detained by ethics police on September 16 due to her “inappropriate clothing,” posing the biggest challenge to the government since the 1979 revolution.
Since the protests began, more than sixty Kurdish individuals have died, according to the Hangao Human Rights Organization in Iran. The organisation also claimed that around 5,000 other people have been hurt by direct gunfire from security forces.
About a week ago, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that the head of the judiciary in Tehran, the capital of Iran, had stated that about a thousand people had been charged with rioting and would be publicly judged this week. At the time, the government was stepping up its efforts to put an end to the demonstrations, which had been ongoing for more than six weeks following the death of the young woman Muhsa Amini during the seizure of the Ethics Police last month.
The Revolutionary Guards requested that the demonstrators avoid the streets today, a Saturday. Iranian leaders characterised the demonstrations as a plot by the Islamic Republic’s adversaries, particularly the United States and Israel. The commander of the “Revolutionary Guards” in Tehran Hassan Hassan Zadeh said that the “Revolutionary Guards” units and the police arrested 14 of the “involved elements” in the killing of a prominent member of the Basij forces, west of Tehran.
Participants in these rallies came from all social groups, with women and students taking centre stage. Women with their veil burnt during these demonstrations.
According to the head judge for the Tehran region, who was quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, “approximately a thousand persons who have carried out sabotage in recent events will be tried, including the attack on or killing security guards, and setting fire to public property.”
She continued by saying that the cases will be held in public and that 277 radicals in the Iranian parliament and judiciary were asked to “deal severely” with the protestors. According to Reuters, they issued a statement in which they demanded that the judiciary “deal decisively with the perpetrators of these crimes and with all those who help in crimes and instigate riots.”
The Iranian authorities are launching a bloody suppression campaign to suppress the turmoil.
The Human Rights Activists in Iran (Hranna) said on Twitter that the death toll among the protesters reached 319 people, since the death of the Kurdish young woman, Muhsa Amini, while she was detained by the “Ethics Police” by claiming “bad veil” in Tehran. She sketched 136 localities and 135 universities that saw protests in her daily data, which were released late on Sunday to 14,823 inmates in the protests.
Iran’s protests are rising .. More than a thousand decisions are made by the court against the protesters.
