Amidst Trump’s warning, protesters in Iran will be hanged, CJI indicated… know what he said
Dubai. Iran’s chief justice has hinted at speedy trials and death sentences for those detained during nationwide anti-government protests. At the same time, human rights activists said on Wednesday that the death toll has increased to 2,572. Chief Justice of Iran’s Supreme Court Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ezei commented in a video on Tuesday about the trials and executions.
However, US President Donald Trump has warned that he will take “very strong action” if the death penalty is imposed. Meanwhile, the US-based ‘Human Rights Activists News Agency’ reported that by Wednesday morning the death toll had increased to 2,571. The toll far exceeds the number of deaths from any protest or unrest in Iran in decades and is reminiscent of the chaos that followed the country’s 1979 Islamic revolution.
After learning of the death toll, Trump warned Iran’s leaders that he was ending any negotiations and would “take action.” Iran’s Chief Justice Ajayi said, “If we have to do something, we must do it now.” If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly.” He said, ”If it is delayed by two months or three months, it will not have that much impact. If we want to do something, we have to do it immediately.”
Dozens of Pakistani students studying in Iran have returned home through a remote route along the south-western border, a Pakistani immigration official said on Wednesday. Samina Raisani, a spokeswoman for the Federal Investigation Agency in Quetta city, said about 60 students entered Pakistan on Tuesday from the Gabad border in Balochistan province with valid travel documents.
He said more students are expected to return via the same route later on Wednesday. Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran Mudassir Tipu had said on Tuesday that Iranian universities have changed the schedule of examinations and have allowed international students to leave the country.
