Iran appoints Western-sanctioned prosecutor general to head top court
2023-08-07
[IsraelTimes] Mohammad Jafar Montazeri is under US and UK punitive measures for prosecution of Mahsa Amini protesters last year

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Sunday appointed Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, who is under US and British sanctions, to head the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s top court.

Montazeri was named the supreme court chief after the "opinions of all the court judges" were taken into consideration, the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said.

The 75-year-old, who had served as prosecutor general since 2016, would be succeeded in his former post by Mohammad Kazem Movahedi Azad, the chief of the High Disciplinary Court of Judges which investigates judicial conduct, Mizan added.

Montazeri was placed under US sanctions in December, with Washington identifying him as having a role in "overseeing the prosecution of protesters" during mass demonstrations in Iran last year.

Britannia followed suit in January and imposed punitive measures against Montazeri following the execution of British-Iranian Alireza Akbari for spying.

Iran was gripped by unrest after the September death in jug of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd, following her arrest for an alleged breach of the country’s dress rules for women.

The demonstrations saw hundreds of people killed, including dozens of security personnel, and thousands arrested in connection with what officials labeled as "riots."

Seven men have been executed in protest-related cases involving killings and other violence against security forces.
