and calls for an international fact-finding mission
NCRI – The Iranian Resistance expresses its condolences over the suspicious death of Mr. Akbar Mohammadi, who spent six years in prison, and holds the mullahs’ henchmen fully responsible for his gruesome death in the notorious Evin Prison. On Sunday, a number of prison guards tied him up, taped his mouth and tortured him. Mr. Mohammadi had been on hunger strike since a few days earlier. Subsequent to his death, the prison authorities cut the phone lines to prevent the news of his death from spreading.
In an interview with the state-run new agency ISNA, the director of the regime’s prisons in Tehran Province, Sohrab Soleimani, said, "Yesterday, Akbar Mohammadi … was in perfect condition and upon his request and after the doctor’s check, he was released from the prison hospital and taken back to his ward."
Killing dissidents and prisoners is common practice by the mullahs’ regime. This is a medieval regime which has executed more than 120,000 political prisoners in its dreadful dungeons and torture chambers.
The Iranian Resistance expresses its condolences to the family of Mr. Mohammadi and other political prisoners and calls on international human rights organizations to form a fact-finding mission to investigate the cause of his death as well as the present status of other political prisoners in Iran. A great number of political prisoners are faced with similar plots and conspiracies against their lives. In February, the mullahs’ inhuman regime executed Mr. Hojjat Zamani, a member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, who spent four years in prison before his execution.
