The judiciary of Kurdistan province claims that 21 people have been killed and 40 injured; however, to ensure that their 'citizen rights' are not violated, the process of handling their cases took 6 years. It states that they possessed multiple military weapons and over 50 ready-to-explode bombs. It mentions that 20 individuals accused of 'terrorism' and 'moharebeh' (waging war against God) have been executed. In contrast, the United Nations states that their executions were sheer injustice. It claims that the judicial process was not properly followed, there was no transparency, and many of them were forced to confess. Some families claim they were innocent, and the defense attorney of one of them states that at least his client did not engage in any armed action. The execution of 20 individuals in Kurdistan, Iran, on charges of moharebeh has sparked various reactions in recent days. The question of this week's program was: Has justice been served with their execution, or should it be considered an example of injustice? Do 'terrorists' also have rights if their terrorism is proven? The guest of this program, alongside the audience of Radio Farda, was Majid Mohammadi, a sociologist residing in New York and author of a book examining the institutions and decision-making foundations of the Islamic Republic's judiciary.
