He added that physical and psychological damages “inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd and 3rd imposed wars, from child killings and war crimes in Minab and Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic and international courts.”
He further stated that from the “murder” of newborns and the elderly to the assassination of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “each is a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic and international courts”.
“What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds,” he asserted.
Never in my life could I have expected to agree with the Iranian government. But, on this specific issue? I do. There needs to be accountability for this.
In case you didn’t notice, in England when in a recent court case were after the Jury made their guilty decision the Judge added Terrorism, British law isn’t the Fair Rule Of Law system you think it is.
I also remember the case of the posh public school educated (which actually means “expensive private college” educates, as Brits call those “public schools” whilst what other people call public schools they call “state schools”) who a High Court Judge (who are themselves also overwhelmingly part of the minority of upper middle-class/wealthy people educated in said very expensive private colleges) gave a second conviction for Fraud and then let him go without a punishment with the rationale that “the shame of a conviction is punishment enough”.
The Law as practiced in Britain isn’t a Blind Justice and Fair Rule of Law system, though in High Courts it definitelly has a far above average level of dressing up and theatrics.
No idea how good or bad Justice is in Iran, but I’m a lot more familiar to how it goes in Britain.
