Although, under Article 302 of Iran’s Code of Criminal Procedure, charges such as “propaganda against the regime” fall under the jurisdiction of the Revolutionary Court, in some smaller cities such cases are tried in Criminal Courts. This practice, stemming from the absence or limited structure of Revolutionary Courts in smaller towns, is inconsistent with the law but has become common in practice due to the lack of specialized judicial institutions.
