In a shocking attack in Tehran, two high-profile judges of Iran's Supreme Court, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, were shot dead by an assailant who subsequently took his own life. Both judges had a history of harsh sentencing against dissidents and were implicated in high-stakes political trials, including involvement in the infamous 1988 executions of political prisoners. This premeditated assassination raises critical questions about the safety of judicial figures in Iran, especially amid heightened tensions due to the nation’s ongoing economic and political challenges.
