          Honorable Chairman of the branch 15 of the Tehran Islamic Revolutionary Court
          As you know, the riot and hypocrite movements through illegal gatherings and street rebellions
          were trying to embitter the sweetness of maximum people's presence in the 10 th presidential
          election and bitter the huge glory of the Iranian nation. The subversive actions of the
          opportunists and starting riots had evil consequences and caused damages on Iran's national and
          international interests and huge material and spiritual damages for national and international
          security of the country.
          Some obstinate groups with instigating their supporters under the pretext of protesting against
          election results tried to sabotage country's security by starting riots and street rebellions. A
          movement against the glory of Islamic value, sabotaging security of the society and taking
          advantage of foreign media and networks and sending information and pictures, tried to provoke
          agitators, and by using all capacity of opposition groups which were waiting to damage security
          of our Islamic country for years, with plan of conspiracy and deceitful scenarios of claiming
          existence of fraud and forge in the election with the goal of removing people trust on country's
          official institutions tried to turn one of the biggest political glory of the Islamic Republic of Iran
          into a security complication and a weapon against government.
          In this regard, the accused in the court whose names are available in the case, corresponding with
          the enemies of the government and despite their knowledge of illegal gatherings, created riots,
          made hand-made grenades in the street unrests, and in order to agitate people to participate in
          street clashes, attacked security forces and basij militia and threw stone at them and disobeyed
          them while they were on duty.
          Theses accused, under influence of foreign satellite channels and inducement of these media in
          order to sabotage public order and create sedition and riot, tried to destroy and inflame public
          properties such as banks, buses, government offices, municipally assets, as well as private assets
          and caused a lot of damages to public properties and private sectors.
          The mentioned accused in the indictment distributed CDs, stimulating statements and rumors in
          order to arouse people to participate in illegal gatherings and cause disorder,. It should be clarify
          1
        

          
          that the accused as it has been explained in the indictment, carried guns, firing bombs, grenade
          and cold weapons such as knives and bats, and used them to destroy and inflame private and
          public properties and bodily and financial damages to the people, in order to frighten people,
          disturb order and public security in the capital of Islamic republic of Iran.
          Honorable Chairman of the Court
          Considering some of irresponsible statements of biased regarding legal and logical principals of
          the accusations against the agitators in recent days, it is necessary to inform the court of some
          points.
          First: The accused confessions show that these conspiracies have been planned years before and
          the 10 th presidential election was only the ground to execute the plan.
          Second: The similar incidents that happened in some eastern European countries and Gafgaz
          leave no doubt that a foreign movement corresponding with the inner agitators and seditious was
          determined to endanger the Islamic Republic security with using these mentioned incidents as
          models.
          Third: The statements before, during and after the election of some of candidates and their
          supporters prove their goals of destructive actions. Specially one of the candidates in an
          interview with an American publication before election explicitly stipulated that these programs
          has been planned long before the election and the goal is fundamental changes in Islamic
          republic of Iran and victory in the election is only a part of these programs and this way is a non-
          returnable path.
          Despite this, the enemies are trying to cover this scandal in any possible way, and they are
          determined to agitate public opinions and society with making deviational debates, in order to
          disable the judiciary system to punish the agents of the velvet coup, despite having access to
          undeniable evidences.
          Majority of the accused have previous criminal record as well. Some of them also were in
          contact with terrorist hypocrite groups, oppositions and enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
          and in order to instigate people to participate in illegal gatherings and riots, have passed different
          military training, acted to collect information and news and traveled to neighbor countries and
          then came back to the country after the trainings. And to advance the goals of terrorist groups
          such as hypocrites, threw hand-made bombs at banks and security and disciplinary forces and
          inflame public assets. And they were active in organizing post-election street riots and planting
          bomb in election sites at the presidential Election Day and also in some part of Tehran.
          The above mentioned points prove that the terrorist groups have been acted in overthrowing the
          Islamic Republic of Iran during recent years and their members knowingly moved in favor of the
          enemies' intelligence services and their leaders.
          2
        

          
          Also available evidences show that this group acted to questioning Islamic Republic of Iran,
          creating widespread crisis, instigating agitators, planning and sketching blind explosions in
          Tehran during the post-election riots and based on enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran's
          plan as part of this overthrowing plan and one of the forces of the velvet coup,.
          Honorable Chairman of the Court
          Considering time sensitivity after the election and the accused activities against the national
          security, economy, social and political interests of the country, and despite numerous
          information and illuminations by media and high ranking officials urging protesters to follow up
          their protest through the legal avenues, they participated in illegal street gatherings and created
          post-election disorders and riots. The actions which were started by the obstinate media and
          oppositions and agitators, in addition to negation of public peace, caused political and social
          unrest and psychological, economical and social insecurity, made security cost for government,
          upset daily traffic order of citizens, widespread destroying and inflaming public, governmental
          and private properties, creating fear and cause death and injury incidents, and also created
          negative propagandas against the Islamic republic of Iran and sabotaged public security of the
          country.
          Honorable Chairman of the Court
          The accused of the recent riots, in addition to destroying and inflaming public and private
          properties, even inflamed Lolagar mosque in Azadi street where is the holy place for Muslim to
          pray. They didn't refrain from any actions to disturb public peace and national security and even
          beat people. In addition to disturbing the public peace, they confronted the Islamic country with
          a huge problem regarding security national and willingly or unwillingly mined the integrity of
          the Republic of Iran and created propagandas against government.
          Since the accused has been arrested by the security and disciplinary forces in the crime scene and
          while they were acting against national security, creating disorder and riot which are documented
          and explained in the case content and reports, the accusation of the accused in the case and
          indictment are proved. So I ask that the honorable chairman of the court and reverent audiences,
          to watch, a short videotape of these riots and crimes that the accused committed against nation,
          and a couple of pictures of recent incidents and presence of the accused in the case before
          reading the indictment of each accused, for making it more clear to the court regarding the
          importance of the committed crime in sabotaging the order and security of the society,
          May God's peace, mercy and blessings fall upon you
          Deputy of the General and Revolutionary Prosecutor of Tehran
