Islamic Revolutionary Courts
Islamic Revolutionary Courts are special courts in Iran established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. They handle cases related to political crimes, security offenses, and issues deemed against the Islamic values of the state. These courts operate under a unique legal framework that combines Islamic law with civil law principles.
The judges in Islamic Revolutionary Courts are often appointed by the Supreme Leader and have significant discretion in their rulings. These courts are known for their expedited processes and limited rights for defendants, which has raised concerns about fairness and transparency in the judicial system.
