According to Roj News Agency, some detainees in the protests were accused of “Haraba (blocking roads for theft and looting) for “setting fire to waste,” and this may lead to the implementation of the death penalty against them.

The director of the Iranian Human Rights Organization, Mahmoud Amiri Moghadam, said: "Execution is the regime's most important tool of repression, the international community should warn the Iranian regime that executing protesters will have dire consequences."

The organization wrote in a report that the defendants faced charges such as "enmity and corruption on earth" in several formal trials in recent days, without observing the basic standards of a fair trial and after being denied access to lawyers.

In this context, the lawyer, Amir Raisian, wrote in a tweet that the video published by the police about the policeman’s killing “does not correspond to the narrative of the judicial authority in the court.”
