Iran – Twelve prisoners were hanged this morning

International call to stop the increasing human rights violation in Iran
NCRI – The inhuman mullahs’ regime set a new record in human rights violation by hanging twelve prisoners this morning. The infamous Tehran’s Chief Prosecutor, Saeed Mortazavi announced the up coming hangings of seventeen more prisoners and underscored the execution of another four just in the past week. 

Four years ago, Mortazavi savagely tortured to death the Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, Ms. Zahra Kazemi in the Evin Prison.  

The mullahs’ regime, overwhelmed by crisis and unable to suppress the popular uprisings, seek the only way out in increasing cruel punishments such as stoning and arbitrary executions.  

The Iranian Resistance condemns the inaction by the international community and in particular the European Union vis-à-vis the cruel violation of human rights by the Iranian regime and reiterates that negotiations and talks with the mullahs in the form of economical as well as diplomatic relations not only is illegitimate but emboldens it to continue such unacceptable behavior.

The Iranian Resistance called on the international community and especially the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Secretary General and the Security Council to condemn the arbitrary executions carried out by the Iranian regime, and implement immediate and binding measures against the brutal and systematic human rights violations in Iran.
