Two Iranian supreme court judges shot dead in Tehran

Judges Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh were killed after an armed man entered the court, in the capital Tehran, on Saturday morning. The attacker killed himself while fleeing the scene.

Both judges are said to have played a role in the persecution and killing of opponents of the Islamic regime throughout the 1980s and 1990s. One of the judges, Ali Razini, had survived an assassination attempt in 1998. The other, Mohammad Moghiseh, was sanctioned by the US in 2019, [accused] of having "overseen countless unfair trials, during which charges went unsubstantiated and evidence was disregarded". Moghiseh was also among seven Iranian judges sanctioned by Canada in 2023 for what the country described as "their role in gross and systematic human rights violations".
