NCRI - The mullahs' inhuman regime hanged in public a man identified as Abdolrahman Baluch Zehi in the southeastern city of Nikshahr, reported the official daily Kayhan on Monday.

To avoid public abhorrence for its cruel punishments, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, mullahs' chief of judiciary on January 31 issued a directive banning all public executions.  

Separately, a 31-year-old prisoner named Alireza was hanged in the northwestern city of Ardebil on December 27.

The ruling criminals in Iran have turned to public hangings to terrorize the public and combat rising popular uprisings. 

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations, in particular, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to refer the mullahs' human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for adopting binding measures against it.
