These heinous sentences are meant as retaliation on the deprived people in Khuzestan Province, and especially in Ahwaz, which has been the scene of popular uprisings against the regime’s suppressive policies.
The Iranian Resistance condemns the suppressive measures by the mullahs’ regime and calls on international human rights organizations to take urgent action to prevent the hangings.
