In particular, one of the victims, Judge Mogise, presided over high-profile trials against political prisoners and under US and EU sanctions for alleged human rights violations.

In Tehran, near the Supreme Court building, an unknown assailant shot and killed two judges and wounded another. The attacker committed suicide before being caught. Authorities classified the event as a terrorist attack. This was reported by the Iranian service of Radio Liberty.

Among the dead were Judge Mohammad Moghise and Ali Razini. Both are involved in cases related to national security, espionage and terrorism. Judge Mogise has presided over high-profile trials against political prisoners and those under US and EU sanctions for alleged human rights violations.

Ali Razini has been the victim of an attack before: in 1998, when he headed Tehran’s judiciary, his car was planted with explosives, but then he survived.

The identity of the attacker has not been established. According to preliminary data, he does not have any business in the Supreme Court and is not a guest. The Mehr agency reported that investigative authorities have begun searching for possible organizers of the attack.

Let’s remember that last year the Iranian parliament passed a bill About hijab and chastitywhich provides for penalties of up to 10 years in prison and fines for violating the Islamic dress code.

It was also reported that a girl in Iran died after falling into a coma after being attacked by the moral police.
