Justice Served: Three Sentenced to Death for Shahcheragh Terrorist Attacks
In a significant legal development, three individuals have been sentenced to death for their involvement in the heinous terrorist attacks on the Shahcheragh shrine in Shiraz. This verdict was announced by the chief justice of Fars province, emphasizing the judicial response to terrorism in Iran.
Sadrollah Rajaei-Nasab revealed on Sunday that the Revolution Court of Shiraz rendered these sentences following extensive investigations and trials. The three convicted individuals were found guilty of aiding “corruption on earth.” In addition to the death penalties, they each received a further 25 years in prison for separate charges.
The Shahcheragh shrine, a prominent religious site located in southern Iran, was attacked in two separate incidents in 2022 and 2023, both of which were claimed by the Daesh terrorist group. The background of these attacks highlights the ongoing threat posed by terrorism in the region.
While the main assailants were either killed or prosecuted earlier, authorities have identified the convicted individuals as crucial logistical supporters responsible for:
- Supplying weapons
- Providing ammunition
Rajaei-Nasab further stated that four additional individuals were convicted in connection with these terrorist acts. This group includes:
- Two members of Daesh, who were sentenced to prison terms of 15 and 10 years based on their level of involvement.
- Two women, each receiving a five-year sentence, which will be served under electronic monitoring within a one-kilometer radius of their residences due to special circumstances.
This case underscores the Iranian authorities’ commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring justice for the victims of these tragic events.
