\"Iranian-regimes-Attorney-General-Mohammad-Jafar-Montazeri\"<\/p>\n

Amid nationwide protests and terrified that a new wave of the uprising will endanger the entire regime, the Iranian regime’s Attorney General warned today <\/a>that the security apparatus can crush dissent with the Judiciary’s backing.<\/p>\n

Using the word “people” instead of the “state”, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri said: “The people’s security is a red line for the Judiciary, law enforcement, and security forces. The Judiciary is obliged to deal decisively with the perpetrators of violent crimes in society. We expect the law enforcement forces and the officials in charge of establishing security in society to deal decisively with those who undermine the security of the people in any position and place, and certainly, the Judiciary will support the forces in this regard.”<\/p>\n
