Eleven prisoners were hanged on the second day of January
NCRI – The mullahs’ inhuman regime begins the New Year by a fresh wave of executions.
The Iranian regime on Wednesday hanged eight prisoners, including a woman, in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran. The woman, identified as Raheleh, 27, was the mother of a five-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy, the state-run media reported.
Three other prisoners identified as Safar-Ali Nazari, Sohbatollah Maleki and Habib Oliaee were hanged in the Motahari Square in the holy city of Qom, the official news agency IRNA reported on January 2.
The arbitrary executions by the Iranian regime started at the turn of the year. Only last month it was condemned for the 54th time at the UN General Assembly over its human rights record. The ruling clerical regime in Iran has no respect for internationally recognized standards.
