On Saturday, a tragic incident unfolded in Tehran, Iran, where two Iranian Supreme Court judges were fatally shot while a third judge sustained injuries. The state-run judiciary's news website reported that the judges identified as ayatollahs Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini lost their lives in the attack.
According to the judiciary's statement, the assailant, after shooting the judges outside the Supreme Court, took his own life. Additionally, a bodyguard of one of the judges was also wounded during the violent episode.
The motive behind this heinous act remains unclear, leaving authorities and the public searching for answers. Notably, opposition websites have previously suggested that Moghiseh had been involved in trials concerning individuals labeled as political prisoners.
This shocking incident has sent shockwaves through the Iranian judicial system and the nation as a whole. The loss of two esteemed judges in such a violent manner has raised concerns about the safety and security of legal professionals in the country.
As investigations into the shooting continue, the Iranian authorities are likely to face mounting pressure to uncover the motives behind the attack and ensure justice for the victims. The tragic deaths of Judges Moghiseh and Razini serve as a stark reminder of the risks faced by those working within the legal system and the importance of safeguarding their well-being.
