          sentenced during the seven-year period in which the prosecution service was suspended.
          Proceedings were initiated by the judge, who then conducted the investigation and, lastly,
          delivered judgement himself As both prosecutor and examining magistrate, he was assisted by
          the “law enforcement services or Pasdaran, and, where appropriate, other armed forces, subj ect
