איראן מאשימה את נסיך הכתר רזא פהלווי ועיתונאים מתנגדי משטר ב'הסתה' להפגנות ינואר

הערכה

Iran has formally indicted Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and several journalists on charges of inciting protests that occurred in January. The government asserts these individuals created conditions for the unrest on specific dates. This move signals Tehran's strategy to blame exiled opposition figures for domestic dissent. The trial will test how far Iran's judiciary will go to suppress criticism linked to the monarchy.
