Mortez Agha-Tehrani, a member of Iran’s so-called parliament, told reporters on August 25th on the sidelines of an open-door session, “With the order issued by parliament speaker Ali Larijani, preparations for the implementation of the ‘enjoining good and forbidding wrong’ have been paved.”
Background:
Jannati is a senior mullah who has always backed crackdown and executions in Iran. In an interview aired on state-run TV on October 18, 2014 he referred to the executions back in the 1980s in Iran without any due procedures, saying Khomeini personally supervised the executions.

“When we used to work in the revolution court some people had doubts on executing this or that person. [Khomeini] said don’t hesitate on anyone whose crime is obvious,” Jannati stipulated.
