 NCRI – The right hand and the left foot of a prisoner were cut off in
the southern city of Ahwaz, provincial capital of Khuzistan, according
to the official news agency of the clerical regime yesterday.
The victim was identified as Adel A. for alleged involvement in armed
robbery. The amputation sentence was issued by a court in the town of
Mahshahr to be carried out in public.
The city of Ahwaz was the scene of unprecedented anti-government
protests earlier this year lasting for over a week. More than 60 people
were reportedly killed in clashes between mainly ethnic Arab protesters
and security forces in the Ahwaz and neighboring towns in Khuzistan
province in April.
