NCRI – The Iranian regime’s judiciary in Tehran sentenced an imprisoned young worker on Monday to the heinous punishment of gouging eye and cutting off ear.
Two days earlier, two prisoners, one the nephew of the other, were hanged in public in the city of Babol.
Also from September 30 to October 3, 15 prisoners were hanged in the cities of Bandar-Abbas, Ardebil, Shiraz, Shahrekord, and Yazd.
Five of the prisoners were hanged as a group in Yazd’s prison and 6 of them, including two brothers, were hanged in the Ardebil prison on September 30 and October 2.
During this period, in addition to thousands of prisoners who are awaiting execution, many more prisoners were sentenced to death.
Sadeq Larijani, the head of regime’s judiciary denied any claim of change regarding the state of political prisoners during Hassan Rouhani’s term.
He said: “Some media have said that… the atmosphere has changed; yes, we agree that the atmosphere has changed but not for the conspirators.”
Fearing people’s uprising, Larijani warned: “The conspirators must know that the atmosphere is by no means open for the conspirators, and the judiciary, tougher than before and tougher than its treatment of the conspiracy of 2009 [the 2009 uprising] is standing and if these conspirators want to come forward and start something of that nature or similar to the conspiracy of 2009 through their instigations or otherwise, they must know that judicial treatment is inevitable” (State-run TV, Khabar Network, October 2)
