According to Mehr, Mohseni Ejei stressed: Security and intelligence forces are conducting investigations about those detained and the legal cases of detainees will be completed and sent to court soon. The court will also issue their sentences in the context of the law and use resolve and speed.
He added: Sharia prescribes death for those who revolt against a just system, a just Imam, and a just supreme leader. Those who have used lethal and non-lethal weapons to create terror among the population are considered to be Mohareb [enemies of God] and must be sentenced to death. Those detainees who have done either of these will be sentenced with no mercy in accordance with Sharia and the law, because the ultimatums were issued a long time ago.
The Iranian Resistance has warned about the wave of killing of those detained during the uprising and sympathizers of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) under the rubric of “Moharebeh” (waging war against God).
Mullah Ebrahim Raeesi, the First Deputy of the Iranian regime’s Judiciary, has stated in this regard that: What took place on the day of Ashura [December 27 protests in Iran] can be an example of Moharebeh. But, Moharebeh is also sometimes referred to an organization. An organization can become a Mohareb organization, like the Monafeqin Organization [derogatory term used by regime officials to refer to PMOI]. Anyone who helps Monafeqin in any way or under any circumstances, in light of the fact that the movements is an organized movement, would deserve the title of Mohareb” (State-run TV, December 30, 2009).
