Four people detained during protests in Iran can be sentenced to the highest degree of punishment. He was charged with Moharebe – “War against God”, which is qualified by Iranian legislation as a particularly serious crime and punishable by the death penalty, Deutsche Welle reports with reference to the statement of Tiegran’s General Ali Salehi.
According to Salehi, four “rebels” are accused, in addition, of illegally wearing weapons, wound law enforcement officers, as well as the destruction and arson of public and government property in order to undermine the country’s security and confront the Islamic system.
A total of 315 people in Tehran were accused of “gathering and conspiracy to undermine the country’s security”, “propaganda activities against the government” and “violation of public order and tranquility,” Salehi said. The head of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Iranian province of Alborz Hosein Fazeli-Karikandi announced the charges of about 200 more participants in the demonstrations.
Mass protests in Iran have been held since mid -September. The reason was the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She was detained by the moral police on September 13 in Tehran for improper wearing a hijab and died a few days later. Protests take place in about 100 cities of Iran. Initially, the protesters demanded an investigation and punish Amini’s deaths, but over time, the slogans gave way to socio-political. In mid -October, workers of the oil industry joined the protests.
