Iran’s attorney-general Mohammad Movahedi Azad has warned that anyone involved in the ongoing nationwide protests — including participants and those who “helped rioters” — will be treated as “enemies of God,” a charge under Iranian law that carries the death penalty. Prosecutors are instructed to pursue cases swiftly without leniency or compassion, intensifying a harsh government response to nearly two weeks of demonstrations driven by economic hardship and unrest. Security forces have reportedly killed dozens and detained thousands, while the state has also cut internet and phone access amid efforts to suppress dissent. (PC: NDTV)
