• Execution of a prisoner before the bewildered eyes of people in Esfahan
• Hanging of at least 16 prisoners following Ashura uprising on December 27
NCRI – The mullahs' regime, fearful of heightening of the popular uprising in February and to create an atmosphere of intimidation, once again has increased the number of executions.
In Esfahan, on January 27, Jamshid Hadian, a 51-year-old prisoner was hanged before the bewildered eyes of the people outside the mullahs' revolutionary court. He was accused of killing Ahmad Reza Tavallai, Esfahan's deputy prosecutor, by firearms on March 16, 2009.
In Zahedan, provincial capital of Sistan and Baluchistan, Khodayar Rahmat Zehi Shahnavazi, 35, a Sunni prisoner was hanged after four years of imprisonment. He was arrested in front of his house following an explosion.
In Ardebil, a prisoner was hanged on January 22 after two years of imprisonment.
A prisoner in Tabriz indentified as Rahim Mohammadi, was executed on January 20 without notifying his lawyer or his family.
In Khash, Allahnazar Shahli, a 26-year-old man from Baluchistan, was hanged.
Hanging of Ardehsir Keshavarz, a 35-year-old Kurd in Karaj's Gohardasht prison, accused of killing a member of the State Security Force in Kermanshah on December 30, 2009, hanging of three prisoners in Khorvin prison of Varamin on January 4, execution of Fasih Yasamani, a 28-year-old Kurdish prisoner after close to two years imprisonment in Khoi prison and execution of 6 prisoners in Esfahan Central prison on January 9, are amongst the executions taking place after the people's uprising on holy day of Ashura (December 27).
The mullahs' regime is trying in vain to prevent the continuation of the brave uprising of the Iranian people and youths who have targeted the regime in its entirety by chanting “Down with Khamenei” and “down with the principle of velayat-e faqih (supreme leadership).”
