Nematullah Behnam, a former government judge said “judges should be investigated if there are any allegations of corruption--it should be investigated.”

Nasir Ahmad Delavar, a judge in the former government said “until now there has been no decisions made about the fate of judges and we are in a state of uncertainty.”
