Iran: Over 250 prisoners hanged, 71 minors on death row in 2007

NCRI – The mullahs’ regime hanged four prisoners in the northern city of Babol and the western city of Sahneh. A woman was also sentenced to death by stoning.

In the past ten months, in excess of 250 prisoners were hanged and 71 juveniles are on the death row in Iran. In the notorious Gohardasht Prison, there are over 600 prisoners on the death row and 60 political prisoners are under constant torture in the regime’s detention centers, in particular the dreadful ward 209, in the notorious Evin Prison.

During the same period, eleven women have been sentenced to death by stoning.
On the World Day Against the Death Penalty, the Iranian Resistance urges the current session of the United Nations General Assembly to adopt a strongly-worded resolution censuring the mullahs’ medieval dictatorship for the barbaric and systematic violations of human rights and public executions, especially those of minors, as well as degrading and cruel punishments.
