In Iran, there are two types of courts. The first are ordinary courts – like you see in films, with a judge, defendant, prosecutor, jury, and public gallery. The second are Revolutionary Courts. In these, there is only a judge and the defendant. The judge issues a verdict within minutes. For example, someone might be accused of espionage and sentenced to 30 years in prison just for having a Starlink antenna. These courts are often compared to the revolutionary tribunals of 18th-century France
