Iran: 14 people, including woman, hanged in 11 days in various cities

NCRI – The inhumane clerical regime has hanged 14 people in the past 11 days alone in order to counter the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people by instilling fear and terror in the country. The hangings were carried out in the cities of Qom, Esfahan, Ghazvin, Arak, and Naghadeh.

On July 22, two young men, Esmail, 23, and Moslem, 25, were hanged at Esfahan's central prison, according to the state-run daily, Etemad-e Meli.

On the same day in Qom’s central prison, four prisoners, Reza, Gholamhossein, Javad, and Hossein, were hanged after their sentences were confirmed by the clerical regime's supreme court.

According to state-run media, on July 14, a female prisoner was also hanged at Ghazvin prison. She was executed after experiencing four years of imprisonment as poverty prevented her from hiring a lawyer, thus depriving her from the slightest opportunity to defend herself.

Three other prisoners, Mohammad Reza, Hossein, 45, and Nasser, 35, were also hanged on July 14 at Esfahan's central prison. Moreover, Mahmoud Mahmoudpour was executed in the central prison of Naghadeh located in the province of Western Azerbaijan (northwest of Iran).

On July 12, three more prisoners were hanged at Arak’s central prison.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all human rights organizations to help stop the hangings and condemn the increasing human rights violations in Iran. It also calls on them to adopt immediate and binding measures aimed at stopping such criminal punishments in Iran.
