The state-controlled daily, Iran, reported that a woman, Farzaneh Sadeghi, was publicly hanged in the city of ‘Selseleh’ in Lorestan province, western Iran.
According to the daily Etemad, Nemat, 17, was sentenced to death by the mullahs’ judiciary.
Yesterday, official news agency, ISNA, reported that Branch 37 of the Supreme Court had sentenced to death Gharib Rahman, a 26-year-old Afghan national.
In a blatant breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, dozens of teenagers have been either hanged or sentenced to death in the eight months since Ahmadinejad took office.
The dramatic rise in suppression in Iran by the mullahs’ regime is a direct result of silence and inaction by the international community vis-ÃÂ -vis the atrocities perpetrated by the ruling theocracy.
The Iranian Resistance urges international human rights organizations to condemn the new wave of executions and crackdown on women and youths in Iran and calls for the referral of the mullahs’ horrific human rights record to the United Nations Security Council.
