Addressing a national annual conference of the Iranian judiciary on Monday, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei said that about 98,000 inmates had been released under an amnesty granted by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei after the last year riots in Iran.
Mohseni-Ejei had said earlier that the Iranian judiciary had separated the cases of “repentant individuals” from those of the rioters to make them eligible for Supreme Leader's amnesty.
The unrest of the past year was to a large extent instigated by foreign elements, he said, adding that some individuals had also taken to the streets without having any affiliation to foreigners.
The unrest that took place last fall was triggered by the death of the young Iranian woman Mahsa Amini in hospital on September 16 days after she collapsed in a police station in Tehran.
Iran's Legal Medicine Organization concluded in a report back then that Amini’s death was caused by prior illness rather than blows to the head, as some had alleged without any evidence.
