Israel National News reports: “Iran’s judiciary chief issued a stark warning on Sunday, declaring that those involved in the recent wave of anti‑government protests would face punishment ‘without the slightest leniency’, AFP reported.
‘The people rightly demand that the accused and the main instigators of the riots and the acts of terrorism and violence be tried as quickly as possible and punished if found guilty,’ judiciary head Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said, according to the official Mizan news portal.
He added that ‘the greatest rigor must be applied in the investigations,’ insisting that ‘justice entails judging and punishing without the slightest leniency the criminals who took up arms and killed people, or committed arson, destruction and massacres.’
The demonstrations, which began earlier in January over soaring living costs, quickly escalated into one of the most serious challenges to the Islamic Republic’s clerical leadership in years…”
