More than 100 prisoners accused of spying for Israel are facing imminent execution in Iran after the bombing of Tehran’s Evin prison in June, lawyers and survivors told The Sunday Times.
The judiciary has accelerated death sentences since Israel struck the prison on June 23.
Human rights lawyers said the attack gave judges a pretext for vengeance.
“A spirit of vengeance has taken over the judiciary,” one Tehran lawyer, who asked not to be named, told the Times.
“A judge told me: ‘Our generals and officials have been killed, and we should take revenge.’ He didn’t even allow me to speak.”
