Pressure intensifies on the families of the advocacy to ‘receive blood money and sign the termination of the case’ of killed protesters

Thursday 1 February 1402

The families of a number of protesters killed during the nationwide uprising have reported intensifying pressure on the government apparatus, saying that government forces have pressured and threatened them to “receive diyeh” and “provide signatures” that would lead to the end of the case. The litigation families insisted they would never stop litigating and were not willing to trade their children’s “blood and purpose” for “money.”

The increasing pressure of government agencies on the families of the murdered protesters to “receive diyeh” and “the signature that would close the cases of these protesters” comes on the eve of the visit of Neda Al-Nashef, the deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations, to Iran.

However, it is unclear whether these pressures are directly related to the trip or whether the Islamic Republic’s intelligence and judicial services pursue other goals.
