Iran: Broadcasting graphic images of public hangings on state television

NCRI – On Tuesday, at the same time with the International Human Rights Day, the inhuman mullahs’ regime, in a shocking move, broadcasted still images of the hanging of one prisoner from a crane in front of large crowd. An image was also broadcasted by the state television of three other prisoners hanging from a frame in a prison yard, in the northeastern city of Bojnourd.

Such heinous measures are adopted by the mullahs to scare off the angry Iranians, in particular students and youths, from participating in anti-government demonstrations.

The Iranian Resistance calls on the related international bodies specially the EU to adopt firm measures against increasing number of arbitrary executions and the showing of such acts on state television. The Resistance reiterates that dealing with the Iranian regime and keeping silence about its crimes are against recognized international human rights principles.
