In a follow-up to the post-election mass trials of opposition activists and protestors, Iran puts aides to former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami and top Reformist figures in the dock.
The fourth session of the revolutionary court held on Tuesday dealt with former officials from the administration of leading Reformist figure Khatami — including former deputy economy minister Mohsen Safaie-Farahani, former deputy interior minister Mostafa Tajzadeh, former deputy foreign minister Mohsen Aminzadeh and Reformist activists Mohsen Mirdamadi and Abdollah Ramezanzadeh.
Saaed Hajjarian, a former deputy intelligence minister who is known for architecting Iran’s Reform movement, was also among the accused. Hajjarian has been in custody for more than 2 months despite his serious health condition.
