NCRI – The mullahs’ inhuman regime hanged 4 prisoners identified as Gole-Mohammad Salehzehi, Rahim Baranzehi, Lal-Mohammad Zainidini and Asadollah Eshaqzehi in the prison yard in the southeastern city of Zahedan, the state-run news agency Fars reported on Monday.

Three other prisoners are to face gallows soon. A 17-year-old has also been sentenced to death by the regime, the state-run daily Etemaad-meli reported on August 9.

In past two weeks 39 prisoners were executed by the ruling clerical regime and 114 youths face gallows for the crimes allegedly committed when they were minors. The youngest is a 13-year-old boy named Ahmad Nowroozi sentenced to death by the mullahs’ judiciary three years ago in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.

The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and all international human rights organizations, in particular, children’s rights groups to condemn the Iranian regime and refer its dossier of systematic human rights violations to the UN Security Council.
