Today, Sunday, the majority of the 290 Iranian parliamentarians demanded that the judiciary apply justice according to the principle of "an eye for an eye" when dealing with "rioters" in the country that has witnessed a wave of protests for nearly two months.
The announcement, approved by 227 deputies, comes in light of the protests that followed the death of Mahsa Amini in mid-September, days after she was arrested by the morality police in Tehran, against the background of her failure to adhere to the strict rules of dress in the Islamic Republic.
Iranian lawmakers said officials should "enforce an eye for an eye" against people who "damaged people's lives and property by using white and firearms weapons."
"We call on all officials in this country, including the judiciary, to deal as soon as possible with the enemies of God," the announcement, published by the Shura Council (ICANA) news agency, said.
The deputies also urged the judiciary to "deal firmly with the perpetrators of these crimes and deal with those who incited rioters, including certain politicians."
Earlier on Sunday, the official media and the Revolutionary Guards announced the killing of 4 policemen and a "terrorist" in separate incidents in Iran.
The demonstrations protesting the killing of Mahsa Amini entered their seventh week in Iran, as Iranians of all backgrounds and affiliations have been demonstrating since the death of the young Kurdish woman on September 16 last.
The Iranian authorities have accused foreign parties of being behind the demonstrations and imposed sanctions on American individuals and entities, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), for encouraging them to "violence and unrest."
