🔶 Changes in Iran’s Judiciary Power; Reorganization, Standby, or Purge?

🔻A report by Atfeh Chaharmahaliān

Iran’s Judiciary Power of the Islamic Republic has witnessed a wide range of managerial reshuffles; nine senior officials of this power have been dismissed, and the headship of the Prisons Organization, the Tehran judiciary, the General Inspection Organization, and parts of its security and oversight structures have undergone changes.

But are the recent changes in the Judiciary Power merely a managerial reorganization, or are they part of the Islamic Republic’s preparation for another wave of unrest, which has been monitored inside the country more than ever? Placing these reshuffles alongside developments in the parliament and the military—security structures, what picture does it offer of the concerns and predictions of the decision-makers of the Islamic Republic about the future?

Tānaz Kalahchiyān, a court lawyer, and Qāsem Shaʿleh-Saʿdi, a jurist and former member of parliament, answered these questions and the place of the recent changes in the judiciary’s puzzle of power-structure developments in Iran in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
