Islamic Revolutionary Court[1] (Persian: دادگاه انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Dadegah Enghalab Eslami), also known as the Revolutionary Tribunal (Dadgahha-e Enqelab[2]) is a special system of courts in the Islamic Republic of Iran designed to try "mainly (but not exclusively) ... high-profile" political cases, specifically those suspected of crimes such as smuggling, blaspheming, inciting violence, insulting the Supreme Leader, and attempting to overthrow the Islamic government. It has been described as less regulated than ordinary Iranian courts, and tending to be more hardline and unpredictable in its judgements.[3]
In the years after the 1979 Iranian Revolution when it was founded to prosecute ideological enemies,[4][5] the court was known for its secretiveness, for coming to verdicts with "no jury, no defence lawyers and often no evidence beyond a confession extracted ... by means of torture".[6] From 1979-1989 the Revolutionary Court sent "more than 16,000 people" to their deaths, according to the Iran Tribunal campaign group.[3]
