19 Executions on Sunday and Wednesday: Appeasement of the Mullahs’ Regime Tramples on Human Rights ValuesSurge in Executions and Crackdowns, Especially Against Women, to Prevent Popular Uprising
Amidst mounting internal and external crises, Ali Khamenei, in fear of a popular uprising, is sending more and more prisoners to the gallows each day. The number of registered executions has reached 19 in just the past four days, with 13 prisoners executed on Sunday, April 21, and 6 more on Wednesday, April 24.
On April 24, Jaber Talebi was hanged in Amol, Javad Asgari in Arak, Alireza Aghaei, Pejman Azizi, Shahram Shoghi, and another prisoner in Qezelhessar Prison. Hossein Ali Sobhani was hanged in Gorgan on April 23 and Farzad Khademi in Saqqez on April 25.
The goal of religious fascism the increasing trend of executions and the intensification of repression, especially the savage suppression of women under the pretext of improper hijab, is to prevent a popular uprising against the oppression of the mullahs. Es’haq Jahangiri, the former Vice President of the regime who has been in government positions for decades, said three days ago: “The sound of the breaking of people’s bones can be heard, we must solve the economic problem of the people”.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations, relevant bodies, the European Union, and its member states to take immediate action to stop the machinery of repression and execution in Iran. The ringleaders of this regime, especially Ali Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, and Gholamhossein Eje’i, must be brought to justice for four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide. Dealing, negotiating, and appeasing the regime of terror, execution, and fear is tantamount to trampling on international values and recognized human rights.
