At least 103 people have been hanged in Iran since January of 2006
NCRI – In the past four days, the mullahs’ inhumane regime hanged four people in the cities of Aq Qala, and Boroujerd.
According to the official news agency IRNA, on July 24, the mullahs’ judiciary hanged two young men in public in the northern town of Aq Qala. The victims were identified as 18-year-old Ibrahim Arokhi and 19-year-old Abdollah Qare-Qoul.
The semi-official daily Kayhan reported on July 20 that two men aged 21 and 23 year old were hanged in public in the western town of Boroujerd.
The official tally of the hangings since January of 2006 based on reports in government-run media stands at 103.
The NCRI’s Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, Mohammad Mohaddessin, has sent a copy of the list of those hanged to United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Louise Arbour, and reiterated that the main purpose of hangings by the mullahs’ regime is to create an atmosphere of fear and panic among the public. He called on the High Commissioner and the United Nations Human Rights Council to condemn these criminal acts and put the deplorable state of human rights violations in Iran under permanent review.
