Iran will soon try 16 people arrested in connection with anti-government protests that turned violent last month, an Iranian news agency reported on Friday.

The semi-official Fars News Agency, which did not identify the detainees who are to be put on trial, said one was accused of “moharebeh” — an Islamic term meaning waging war against God — which carries the death sentence.

The others were accused of gathering with the intention of disrupting national security and propaganda activities against the Islamic establishment, Fars said.
