Iran: Four hangings, one limb amputation

National Council of Resistance of Iran NCRI – The mullahs’ inhuman regime amputated the hand of a prisoner in western city of Kermanshah, the state-run daily Qods reported on Monday. The unidentified victim, was also sentenced to six months in jail and 30 lashes, the daily wrote.

A young man named Zanjani was hanged in the central prison in northeastern city of Mashad the Qods daily reported on Tuesday.

A man, identified only by his initials M. Sh. was hanged on Saturday in northern city of Semnan, the official news agency, IRNA reported.

Two more prisoners, Zahed Salehabadi, 35, and Mohammad Amin Barahoue, 28, were hanged in central city of Tabas.

The mullah’s judiciary also sentenced a 21 year old man named Shaheen to death, the daily Qods reported on Sunday.

The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General, Security Council, High Commissioner for Human Rights and other competent international bodies to take urgent measures to stop rising trend of executions in Iran. It also calls for immediate referral of the clerical regime's human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for adoption of binding measures. Silence and inaction by the international community over the systematic and flagrant violations of human rights in Iran only emboldens the mullahs to continue and step up their atrocities.
