NCRI – Mohammad Tourang, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in charge of security in Greater Tehran, admitted that a gathering of women on Sunday, September 24, outside the offices of the UN in Tehran was brutally repressed. Relatives of four women sentenced to death were among demonstrators, along with students and a number of Tehran residents.
“The participants had not obtained the permission to gather. As they were disrupting public order, the security forces just carried out their duty”, he said.
The official news agency Fars acknowledged that, despite crackdown and arrests of demonstrators, the relatives of four women sentenced to death sentenced to death under the retribution law, including Shahla Jahed and Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajou, were able to meet officials of the UN offices in Tehran.
