Описание: Iran: Supreme Court Judges Shot Dead, State Media Implies Israeli Link | Firstpost Spotlight

In Iran, two veteran Supreme Court judges known for delivering controversial judgments were shot dead inside the court in Tehran on January 18. The Iranian judiciary said the assailant – who had no pending legal cases – killed Mohammad Moghiseh and Judge Ali Razini in a “planned assassination” and attempted to flee before dying by suicide. A guard was injured in the attack, the state media reported. Moghiseh and Razini were veteran justices who for decades headed courts involved in trying protesters, artists, and activists. The state media suggested an Israeli link to the killing of judges. The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on January 19 hailed the assassinated judges as "martyrs" and led their funeral.
