HRANA – The Chief Justice of West Azerbaijan Province announced the seizure of the assets of 129 citizens in the province, describing them as “agents of the enemy.” This action follows a previously issued order for the confiscation of these citizens’ assets.

According to IRIB News, Nasser Atabati, the Chief Justice of West Azerbaijan Province, stated that the assets of 129 individuals had been confiscated in the interest of public rights based on accusations including “anti-security activities” and cooperation with “hostile countries.”

He claimed that some of these individuals are among the “main operatives and key members” of groups opposed to the Islamic Republic.

The Chief Justice of West Azerbaijan Province also referred to these individuals as “terrorists” and accused them of collaborating with the United States and Israel. He emphasized that the process of asset seizure and judicial action against what he described as “traitors and those who sell out the homeland” would continue forcefully.

The published report did not provide any information regarding the identities of these individuals, their whereabouts, or details of their judicial cases.

Previously, reports had also been published regarding the issuance of orders to confiscate the assets of these 129 citizens. At that time, judicial authorities stated that the decision had been made as part of measures against individuals allegedly cooperating with the “enemy.”
