NCRI – The clerical regime hanged five prisoners on Monday in the cities of Zahedan, southeast Iran, and Isfahan, central Iran. One of the victims by the name of Mostafa M., 34, was from rural areas of Isfahan according to Kayhan daily, March 9. In response to a deceitful amnesty declared by the regime, he surrendered himself to the police in Tehran in August 2005 but he was later sentenced to death.
According to the official news agency IRNA, March 9, four other prisoners were hanged in the central prison of Zahedan.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations in particular the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to condemn deteriorating state of human right in Iran and calls for referral of the regime’s human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for adoption of immediate and binding measures to prevent rights abuses.
