Iran judiciary chief vows to pursue protest ‘instigators’ abroad
Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said on Monday that authorities would seek to prosecute not only foreign governments but also individuals whom he accused of helping fuel recent unrest, both inside Iran and overseas.
He said those he described as having “caused” the protests, as well as those who he said supported them financially, politically or militarily, would be treated as criminals.
“Those who called for it, those who provided financial support, propaganda support or weapons — whether the United States, the Zionist regime or their agents — are all criminals and each of them must be pursued,” Ejei was quoted as saying by state media.
