NCRI – The provincial head of the mullahs’ judiciary and an advisor to the regime’s judiciary chief in Sistan and Balouchestan Province, Mohammad-Ebrahim Nekonam announced the implementation of further dramatic measures in combating the population under the pretext of “taking firm action against those who stir public disturbances,” the semi-official daily Kayhan reported on October 19.
He said, “The judiciary adopts an identical approach in dealing with hooligans, elements of insecurity, and drug traffickers and does not take into consideration whether they are Persians or Balouchis, Sunnis or Shiites. It does not make any difference who the guilty party is. What matters is the crime…we are obligated to adopt a firm approach against those who instigate insecurity.”
Earlier this year, in order to expedite execution orders in the province, the regime’s judiciary has set up a branch of its Supreme Court in Sistan and Balouchestan Province.
The Iranian Resistance draws the attention of all international human rights organizations to the increasing violations of human rights in Iran and calls for urgent actions to stop arbitrary executions in Iran.
