The fourth different show trial began with 20 more innocent people going on trial for false crimes that they did not commit. There were more forced confessions that were no doubt obtained by torture.
Those on trial include prominent former members of the government who loyally served the Islamic Republic. These men include former Deputy Interior Minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, former Deputy Foreign Minister Mohsen Aminzadeh, former government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, and former Deputy Intelligence Minister Saeed Hajjarian.
Mr. Hajjarian imprisonment is especially troubling because he is disabled due to an assassination attempt by Basiji extermists. He was forced to give a confession and his detainment is even more cruel given his frail physical condition.
