Death Sentences of Protesters Will Be Executed
“Mohseni-Ezhe” announced the execution of death sentences against protesters.
“Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ezhe,” the Head of the Judiciary, while announcing the enforcement of death sentences against protesters, defended the actions of this branch based on issuing death sentences for protesters and stated: “Those who, through their actions and crimes, according to law should have been executed or should be executed, without compromise and of course while fully observing legal standards, justice and fairness, their sentences have been or will be carried out.”
Mohseni-Ezhe’s statements regarding the crimes and actions of protesters were made at a time when in many protester cases, there has been a lack of solid evidence and documents regarding their charges. In this regard, many lawyers and legal experts have reacted and referred to numerous cases that were fabricated and lacked any documentation substantiating the charges against the protesters, while Mohseni-Ezhe spoke of observing legal standards and justice and fairness in this matter.
It should be noted that the news agency “Hrana” also published reports this morning regarding the latest legal status of 25 detainees in nationwide protests who had been sentenced to death.
