The government has moved forward to prosecute 20 people currently in jail for "sabotage" in the wake of the recent unrest. They have also been accused of working with the outlawed opposition group Mujahedin which conveniently had one of its camps in Iraq raided by Iraqi forces earlier this week. If the prosecutions move forward, they will be little more than show trials based on trumped up charges.
On more positive news, Iran's Prosecutor General said that more prisoners will be realeased later this week to add to 140 that have already been released. Hopefully the coninued domestic and international pressure will force the regime to treat prisoners with greater dignity and ensure that no more are killed in jail by this regime.
