The Prosecutor has ordered today 43 from the Mahalla April 6 detainees, who have been classified as “criminal” (not political) prisoners, to be referred to court. Six more names will be tried in absentia, since they are on the run.
This means that the government has decided to use those Mahalla citizens as the scapegoat for the uprising.
