Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ezei has signaled swift trials for detained Iranian protesters, the Associated Press reports.
"If we want to do some work, we should do it now. If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly," Mohseni-Ezei said in a video posted online by Iranian state television.
He added that if Iran's judiciary wants to do something, it must do it quickly and that reacting two or three months later does not have the same effect.
Iranian media reported that Mohseni-Ezei said that trials should be public and that he spent five hours in a Tehran prison to personally examine the cases, the British newspaper The Guardian reports.
Iran's Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Movahedi Azad previously said that the protesters would be charged as enemies of God, which is punishable by death in Iran.
