Tehran’s interim Friday prayer leader, the radical hardline Mullah Janati has demanded that the toughest judges of the early days of the 1979 Revolution return to ‘deal with’ those arrested in recent protests. Jannati slammed the contemporary judges presiding over the Islamic courts; calling them ‘insipid’, the octogenarian cleric added that the judges that are on the bench nowadays are incompetent as during the early days of the revolution people were summarily executed without a trials.

Islamic Labor News Agency quoted Janati saying: “People’s have high expectations of our judiciary; obviously it is understandable that in this day and age the judiciary has various limitations and cannot act like the courts of the early days of the revolution. However if our courts were able to take the steps that the early courts did we would have dealt with this matter early on and would not have been faced with this situation right now.”

Prosecutor General of the Islamic regime, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejeii announced the imminent execution of several individual who were arrested during the December 27th, Ashura protests.

Janati claimed Ashura Day protesters are mofssedin’eh fel’arz (Arabic for debauched and degenerate individuals); this was a term used in the early days of the revolution in describing all those who the regime saw fit to execute and who the Islamic Republic Judicial law views as an offense deserving of the death penalty.
