More than 1,000 people have been charged after the nationwide protests broke out in Iran, according to official information. This was announced by a spokesperson for the judiciary on Tuesday, the Iranian news agency Isna reported.
Several criminal and revolutionary courts are hearing the cases. Most negotiations should be open to the public. There were no further details about the allegations. Conservative hardliners in parliament on Sunday called for harsh sentences, including the death penalty.
According to human rights activists, nearly 15,000 participants in the demonstrations have been arrested so far. The protests in Iran were triggered by the death of 22-year-old Iranian Kurd Mahsa Amini. The vice squad arrested her for allegedly violating the Islamic dress code.
The woman died on September 16 in police custody. Since her death, tens of thousands have demonstrated across the country against the government’s repressive course and Islamic rule system. (sda/dpa)
