Revolutionary Courts were special judicial bodies established during periods of political upheaval, particularly during the French Revolution and the Iranian Revolution. Their primary purpose was to expedite the trial process for individuals accused of crimes against the state, often prioritizing speed over traditional legal procedures. These courts aimed to eliminate perceived threats to the revolution and uphold the new political order. Typically, Revolutionary Courts operated with limited legal protections for defendants, leading to controversial verdicts and sentences. They often dealt with cases of treason, counter-revolutionary activities, and other offenses deemed harmful to the revolutionary cause. Their legacy is marked by debates over justice and human rights during tumultuous times.
