On February 4, the mullahs’ Supreme Court upheld the death sentence by stoning of two sisters Zohreh (27) and Azar (28) Kabiri-Neyat in the notorious Gohardasht (Rajaishahr) prison in Karaj some 40 km west of the capital Tehran. Similarly, the death sentence by stoning of a 49-year-old man named Abdullah Farivar was upheld by the Supreme Court in the northern city of Sari. The man has two children.
Another man, Jafar Kiani, was stoned to death in the western city of Qazvin last July.
This week, the inhuman mullahs’ regime has sentenced nine teenagers to death in the Gohardasht prison. All were under 18 at the time of the alleged crime.
Today, the execution order of another teen Behnam Zare was sent to Adelabad prison in southern city of Shiraz and the execution can be performed at anytime.
Ms. Sarvenaz Chitsaz, Chairwoman of the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on Women and Children and all international human rights, women and children rights organizations to condemn the mullahs’ misogynist regime for handing down stoning sentences as well as death sentences for minors. She also calls for referral of the Iranian regime’s human rights dossier to the UN Security Council.
