Iranian news agency IRNA on Wednesday reported the trial of around 20 post-election demonstrators will be begin Sunday. “Indictment bills for some of those, accused of participating in the street riots after the election, have been issued by the Judiciary and they will be put on trial next Saturday,” IRNA said.
“They are charged with being connected to the terrorist groups, bombing, carrying weapons, raiding the Police, Basij (voluntary militia), universities and military bases, sending images to the enemy, organizing vandals and rioters, damaging public and governmental centers,” IRNA added.
Referring to pro-reform politicians, IRNA reported, “Those who ordered the post-election unrest,” would be brought to trial later. Iranian authorities released nearly 140 protestors on Tuesday, though 200 protestors remain in prison, including 50 suspected of leading riots.
