Judiciary chief:
Iran to bring to justice terror groups ’one by one’
Head of Iran’s Judiciary Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei has emphasized the completion of files related to terrorist groups, saying it is a top priority for the judiciary to address the backlogged cases of groups that committed crimes against the people and the country during the early days of the Islamic Revolution. “These terrorist groups are being brought to trial one by one,” the judiciary chief added, according to IRNA. Addressing a Monday meeting of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, Ejei said the body has assigned a dedicated group and headquarters to bring some of these backlogged cases, especially the cases of groups that committed crimes against various segments of the people and the country during the early days of the revolution, to conclusion.
The judiciary has tasked the group and headquarters to thoroughly comprehend the crimes committed by the terrorist groups during the early days of the revolution, Ejei said.
They will consider various aspects, including the atrocities committed against women and children, the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, collaboration and coordination with hostile forces, and providing information to them, he added.
Mizan news agency reported on Saturday that a top Iranian criminal court plans to bring more than a hundred members of the anti-Iran terrorist cult Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has murdered tens of thousands of Iranian citizens, to trial. According to the report, Branch 1 of Tehran’s Criminal Court has announced that 104 MKO members, including the ringleader of the terror cult Maryam Rajavi, must introduce their lawyers to the court so that they will represent and protect the rights of the defendants. Otherwise, a due decision would be made in accordance with the law, the report noted. The MKO has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.
On June 20, Albanian police forces entered the MKO camp, known as Ashraf-3, near Tirana, due to its engagement in “terror and cyberattacks” against foreign institutions. Authorities seized 150 computer devices linked to terrorist activities.
