| 2009-11-20 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A senior Iranian judicial official has warned that any illegal protests in the future will be met with a 'crushing response'. "The Islamic Republic of Iran will counter any move aimed at creating disorder in the system without hesitation," Iran's prosecutor general Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei said in a late Wednesday TV interview. Mohseni-Ejei referred to a series of illegal demonstrations staged after the June presidential election. He noted that 90 people, arrested during the post-election events, were acquitted of all charges. The former intelligence minister added that 81 defendants have received prison sentences ranging from 6 months to 15 years, while five of them got the death penalty. The verdicts may be appealed, he added. |
