NCRI – The mullahs' inhuman regime hanged four prisoners identified as Sadeq, Alireza, Hamid and Ismail in the northeastern city of Mashhad, the state-run daily Khorasan reported on Saturday.
The Iranian regime hanged 14 prisoners in less than a week, according to the government-run media outlets. Among those executed is a 17-year-old boy identified as Mohammad Hassan-Zadeh hanged in Sanandaj prison, northwest Iran. The boy was 14 at time of the alleged crime. Execution of juveniles is a clear breach of the international covenants by the ruling clerics in Iran.
The mullahs' regime has stepped up arbitrary executions to combat the growing public revulsion against it at home and international isolation abroad.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the international community to end its silence over the medieval punishments and growing number of executions in Iran especially those of the juveniles. It also calls for an end to barbaric and systematic violations of human rights by the medieval regime in Iran.
