Last trial session of Kahrizak defendants held in Tehran
TEHRAN, June 9 (MNA) – The last trial session of Kahrizak defendants was held on Monday and the rulings will be issued within ten days.
During the eighth trial session, the indictments for 12 Kahrizak defendants were read out and after hearing defenses, the judge declared the end of the hearings.
The defendants are charged with violating the law in dealing with the post-election detainees at the Kahrizak detention center.
The Majlis special committee on the post-election incidents announced on August 15 last year that 12 police officers and judges involved in the Kahrizak incidents had been dismissed and faced prosecution.
According to an informed source, some high-ranking police officers and judiciary officials are among the defendants.
The Majlis, the Judiciary, and other relevant government bodies have agreed that defendants should only be identified after the trials are completed and if the defendants are convicted.
The Kahrizak detention center, located south of Tehran, was closed last year on the order of the Supreme Leader because it was substandard.
The Supreme Leader also ordered the Judiciary to deal firmly with those involved in the Kahrizad incidents and prosecute the offenders who “perpetrated crimes in this detention center.”
