TEHRAN, Iran – In recent months, Iran’s powerful judiciary has found itself under pressure from an usual source — conservatives. In addition to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his aides, who kicked off a campaign against the judicial system in August, a small but influential university student group also now has the judiciary in its crosshairs.
One member of the Justice-Seeker Student Movement told Al-Monitor, “We are revolutionaries who defend the causes of the Islamic Republic in the framework set by the former and current supreme leaders. We have always been against [and beyond] the Principlist-Reformist dichotomy.”
