Iran: Fifteen executions in two days

NCRI – At dawn of Wednesday, May 8, clerical regime’s henchmen mass executed eleven prisoners in Ghezel Hessar prison in the city of Karaj. Some of those executed are: Abbas Beparva, Abolfazl Kardeh, Maysam, Adel Hashemi, and two brothers Amir and Hamid Hashemi. Bodies of the executed were transferred to Bibi Hakimeh in Karaj outskirts to be handed over to their families. Clerical regime published no report on these criminal executions.

Victims are from a group of twenty-two inmates transferred for execution to solitary cells in two groups on May 6 and 7.

Furthermore, on May 9, three inmates in Shahrood prison and an inmate in Semnan prison were hanged (IRGC Fars News agency – May 9).

The objective of intensifying suppression and executions is to step up the atmosphere of horror and terror and to prevent uprisings by the exasperated people.
