Former Iranian President Mohammed Hatam condemns the trial of the opposition activists arrested after the June unrest that followed the presidential election.
In a statement published on his personal website, he calls the huts the lawsuit that began on Saturday on Saturday and the malicious spectacle and a violation of the Iranian constitution, which will further undermine the trust of the people, the British television and broadcasting corporation of the Air Force .
The ex-president rejected the recognition made in court as invalid and expressed the hope that this process would not distract the attention of law enforcement agencies from real crimes. About 100 people were accused of teaching the riots and committing actions that threaten national security.
The Air Force notes that the time and scale of this process was a surprise to the opposition. They testify that the authorities intend to prevent new protests.
According to state Iranian agencies, some of the accused have already admitted that their allegations that the elections were falsified on June 12 were unfounded.
However, the largest reformist party in Iran, "Mosharekat", said that the process was ostentatious and that the guilty of guilt from some accused was forced.
In the photographs published by the Iranian press, those accused of a courtroom filled with people, dressed in prison clothes and surrounded by guards, are visible. Among them are supporters of the leaders of the opposition Musavi and Carrubi, as well as assistants to the former president huts.
The FARS semi -official Iranian agency reports that among those involved in the court are the former Deputy Minister of Foreign Minister Mohsen Aminzade, former representative of the government Abolla Ramazanzade and the former Minister of Industry Behzad Nabava. Hatam, who advocates for reform, served as president from 1997 to 2005.
