Two Iranian supreme court judges shot dead
Last edited Sat Jan 18, 2025, 01:21 PM - Edit history (1)
Two senior Iranian judges have been shot dead in an apparent assassination in the country's supreme court.
Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh were killed after an armed man entered the court, in the capital Tehran, on Saturday morning.
The attacker is said to have then killed themselves while fleeing the scene, according to the judiciary's news website, Mizan. A bodyguard was also injured in the attack.
The motive for the attack is unclear, but 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.
