Mullahs intensify domestic suppression in step with creating foreign crises with export of fundamentalism and terrorism
The anti-human clerical regime in Iran has executed five prisoners and condemned 10 others to death in a continuing wave of suppression and extensive violation of the Iranian people’s human rights. State-controlled news agencies reported that two of the victims, Ali Khani and Hassan Ghanbari on January 25 in the city of Qom (situated south of Tehran), and another prisoner named Arash on January 23 in Esfahan (central Iran), and another person on January 18 in Varamin (near Tehran), were all hanged in public.
Another of the victims was according to IRNA news agency Behrouz Mehranpour, a blind and deaf person who was 18 years at the time of his alleged crime.
The wave of brutal executions in Iran is meant to intimidate and terrorize the general public and is the flip side of whipping up foreign crises by the medieval clerical regime in Iran. The Iranian Resistance calls for the clerical regime’s record of gross human rights violations to be referred to the United Nations Security Council.
