 The mullahs' antihuman regime has dramatically stepped up execution
verdicts and hangings subsequent to the election of Revolutionary
Guardsman-terrorist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
In the past two days alone, two prisoners were hanged publicly and two
more sentenced to death, bringing the number of those hanged or
sentenced to death in the past 10 days to eight and three respectively.
Kayhan wrote on July 14 that Ali Saffarpour Rajabi, 20, was publicly
hanged in Pol-e Dokhtar (western Iran) on the charge of killing a
Revolutionary Guard. He was 16 at the time of the alleged offense and
had been imprisoned since 2001.
Etemad daily wrote today that Evazzali Husseinzadeh was hanged in
public in the northwestern city of Ardabil on Thursday. He had been
charged with murder in 1999.
On July 14, Hamshahri daily reported that the Supreme Court had upheld
execution verdicts for two persons, who will be hanged shortly.
The Iranian Resistance again urges the United Nations High Commissioner
for Human Rights, the Human Rights Commission, the General Assembly and
other international human rights organizations to condemn the increase
in the violation of human rights Iran and the recent wave of
executions, particularly of juveniles. It also reiterates the need for
the appointment of a special rapporteur and the referral of the Iranian
regime's horrific rights record to the UN Security Council.
