Unlike everywhere else in the world where hacking is labeled cybercrime and largely intersects with misinformation or manipulation of public opinion, there are incidents in Iran that serve the opposite.<\/p>\n

On February 7, an Iranian cyber group calling itself Edalat-e Ali (Persian for Imam Ali\u2019s Justice) told RFERL<\/a> (Radio Free Europe)that it had hacked the surveillance network system at Karaj’s Ghezel Hessar prison and gotten access to some evidence about the crimes committed by the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

“We, Iranians, we are political prisoners of this authoritarian regime, and we are going to turn the 10 Day Fajr Ceremonies into a period of resumption of nationwide protests,” the group announced.<\/p>\n

Edalat-e Ali also published documents, including a list of 1,846 protestors arrested during the November 2019 uprising and what they had been charged with. These people were imprisoned and tortured for charges such as “disturbing the order”, “propaganda against the regime”, “insulting the leaders\u201d of the regime on the internet, and “gathering and colluding with the intention to act against national security”.<\/p>\n

Many of these people have been sentenced to between one month to 10 years in prison, and a considerable number have been sentenced to flogging as well.<\/p>\n

For instance, the charge against one of the detainees reads: “He frequently appeared at the rally site on Pirouzi Street and texted his relatives to show off.” This person was sentenced to one year in prison and 74 lashes.<\/p>\n

Another person was sentenced to one year in prison and 20 lashes for parking a car diagonally across the area where the unrest was taking place.<\/p>\n

The group also submitted a “very confidential” document<\/a> to the London-based Iran International that showed Iranian officials in the Judiciary are discussing international courts that are addressing human rights abuses in Iran and have made suggestions on how the Iranian regime should deal with these courts.<\/p>\n

Referring to the Aban People’s Tribunal<\/a>, the Iran Tribunal, and the Swedish Court where Hamid Noury<\/a>, a prison guard and complicit in the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, an official at the Justice of Tehran Province has made some recommendations. One of the recent documents, released with the subject “human rights trials against the Islamic Republic of Iran in Europe” was signed on November 15 by Mir Mostafa Seyed Ashrafi, Deputy Prosecutor and Head of the Tehran International Court of Justice.<\/p>\n
