Iran’s judiciary reportedly issues preliminary sentences to some of those arrested over recent protests on various charges including “disturbing public order and peace” in the country, with one of them receiving the death sentence
The person was charged with"disturbing public order and peace, assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security, war and corruption in the land," according to Mizan News Agency, affiliated with Iran's judiciary.
A person who had "set fire to a government building" was sentenced to death on charges of "disturbing public order and peace, assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security, war and corruption in the land," said Mizan News Agency, affiliated with Iran's judiciary. It comes days after Iran's judiciary chief Mohseni Ejei called for expediting the cases related to recent protests that were triggered by the death of a 22-year-old Iranian woman in police custody.
The government has not released the official death toll in protests, but independent watchdogs have put the figure at more than 250, including civilians and policemen.The US and European countries have in recent weeks imposed a slew of sanctions on Iranian officials and entities over what they call a "brutal crackdown on protests," while Iranian authorities have accused them of "stoking unrest" in the country.
