 92 executions and death sentences in the last four and a half months
State-run media reported that in the past few days the anti-human
mullahs’ regime in Iran has hanged 4 prisoners in public and handed
down 8 death sentences including to one woman prisoner.
Keyhan reported on November 13 the hanging of two youths named Mokhtar
(24 years-old) and Ali (25 years-old) on charges of homosexuality in
the Bahonar Square of the city of Gorgan. It also reported on November
8 the hanging of another youth named Ahmad Norouzian (22 years-old) in
the Khazar Square of Sari city. The state-run daily Iran reported on
November 12 that another prisoner named Majid (27 years-old) was
hanged.
That brings the number of hangings and death sentences in the last four
and a half months – precisely after Ahmadinejad’s instatement - to at
least 92 which show an increase of more than 100 percent compared to
the first six months of the year.
The mullahs’ regime has also stepped up its cruel and inhuman
punishments. On November 12 the regime’s security forces paraded 7
youth in a very degrading manner in the town of Tonekabon in Northern
Iran. The regime aims to intimidate the youth with such disgraceful
acts.
The Iranian Resistance calls on international human rights
organizations to condemn the wave of inhumane executions in Iran and
demands the adoption of a strongly-worded resolution at the current
session of the United Nations General Assembly to censure the
systematic and flagrant violations of human rights in Iran.
