Iran: Mobile Courts to enforce suppressive laws

mobile-court-iran100NCRI – Chief of the mullahs' judiciary, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, in a directive ordered the start of Mobile Courts in the country, the state-run news agency Mehr reported on Monday.

"In accordance with the law passed on September 1, 1987, in Majlis [mullahs' parliament], the local judiciary offices, in offering expeditious legal service, expanding public equality and providing order as well as expediting and enhancing legal procedures, are hereby ordered to facilitate the Mobile Courts in their jurisdiction," Mehr added.

Shahroudi then goes over each clause of the new directive detailing the start of the new suppressive move. What he does not explain in his order is why after 21 years since the bill was first passed from the Majlis it is going to take effect now.

The mullahs' are desperate to control the boiling popular dissents. Putting the new judiciary chief's order next to other suppressive moves such as "boosting public security plan" which has gone into effect in April of 2007 and formation of 13 suppressive police last year in addition to already dreaded State Security Forces (SSF) and the paramilitary Bassij force as well as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), it makes all the sense.
