Iran: Man hanged in public in Isfahan

NCRI – The Iranian regime’s henchmen hanged a man in public on Saturday in the city of Isfahan.

The 32-year-old man had been arrested in 2011 on drug related charges. He was hanged in public in Khomeini Shahr district of Isfahan.

 

According to a report, another man from Balouchestan Province was killed under torture on August 25.

Qasem Zardkouh was arrested in mid-August in the city of Iranshahr and transferred to an unknown location.
The intelligence ministry at first avoided delivering his body to his family and threatened them to keep silent. Signs of torture and beating could clearly be seen on his body.
So far, the number of executions since sham presidential elections in June has reached to at least 143 with 40 taking place after Hassan Rouhani has assumed office.

Last Tuesday, Hassan Rouhani’s government turned down a request by Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, to visit the country.

Since two years ago that Ahmed Shaheed has been designated as the United Nations Rapporteur for Human Rights in Iran, the ruling mullahs have not allowed him to visit the country and have described his reports as “baseless allegations” and his resources as “terrorists and anti-revolutionaries”.
