NCRI – Six prisoners were hanged by the mullahs' judiciary in the holy city of Mashhad and central city of Isfahan, according to state-run media on Wednesday.
The identities of the four men hanged on Tuesday in Mashhad were not revealed, reported the state-run daily Khorasan. They were aged between 18 and 20 years.
The prisoners hanged in Isfahan were named as Ahmad A. and Reza A., according to semi-official news agency Fars.
In the past 10 days alone, the mullahs' medieval regime has hanged 36 prisoners.
On January 31, 2008, the mullahs' judiciary chief, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, ordered death penalty should be carried out behind close doors.
"We have repeatedly seen that people expressed sympathy with the person who was going to be hanged in public. People even expressed their abhorrence at the execution of the sentence," said the assistant prosecutor for sentences in Tehran's criminal prosecution office, the state-run daily Javan reported on January 31, 2008.
"With far less expenditure, executions could be carried out in prison," he added.
The state-run websites also admitted to the adverse effects of public hangings and noted that the victims' gestures before being hanged deeply affected the young people and left heroes image in their minds. These websites regretted that in addition to generating hatred among people, public hangings have also damaged the status of the regime in the world.
