Iran: Ten prisoners hanged in Evin prison PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 26 November 2008

A man hanged from an electric pole in IranNCRI – Ten prisoners, including a woman, were sent to gallows early this morning in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, the semi-official news agency Fars reported. 

The woman was identified as Fatemeh Haqeqat-Pajoh and other men were not named by the mullahs' judiciary. 

In past two weeks, the Iranian regime has executed 18 prisoners despite international condemnation for its human rights violations.

On November 21, the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly passed a resolution expressing deep concern over human rights violations by the ruling clerics in Iran.
 
The UN document reads in part: "Torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment such as flogging and amputations, public executions, stoning as a method of execution, execution of persons who were below 18 years of age at the time their offence was committed, arrests of and violent crackdowns on women exercising their right to assembly, increasing discrimination and other human rights violations against persons belonging to religious, ethnic, linguistic or other minorities, ongoing and serious restrictions of freedom of opinion and expression, peaceful assembly and association, and the increasing harassment, intimidation and persecution of human rights defenders," are a common practice in Iran.
