A Tehran court today sentenced a person accused of involvement in the “riots” to death for the first time, the judiciary’s Mizan agency reported in an online post.
According to the verdict sentencing him to death, the individual was found guilty of “arson of a government building, disturbance of public order, assembly and conspiracy to commit a crime against national security and an enemy of God and corruption in the land,” the agency said. .
Another court in the capital also sentenced five people to prison terms of 5 to 10 years for “assembling and conspiring to commit crimes against national security and disturbing public order.”
These are decisions of first instance courts and therefore the convicted can appeal, Mizan clarifies.
Iran has been rocked for weeks by a wave of protests following the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini while being detained by morality police for not wearing her hijab properly.
