“A number of protesters whose houses were shot and the guards had beaten them up referred to the Paweh Prosecutor’s Office and called for Justice. But Muslim Almasi, the new prosecutor of Paweh, not only defended the actions of NAJA guards but also threatened protesters with arrest and transfer to the Dizel Abad prison in Kermanshah.”, the source added.
