Iran: Three youth, aged 20 to 25, including a juvenile offender await execution

A 29 year old woman and three men including a 20 year old hanged in Shiraz

NCRI – Mohammad Reza Haddadi, 20, who was 15 at the time of committing the alleged crime, will be hanged on Wednesday, May 27, 2009, at Adelabad prison in Shiraz, reports from Iran said.

Two young prisoners aged 23 and 25 years old who are also scheduled to be hanged, have been sent from Dastgerd prison, in the central city of Isfahan, to solitary confinement.

Meanwhile, on May 23, 2009, four prisoners, including Ms. Afsaneh Rahmani, 29, a 20 year old man, identified as Rasoul, and an Afghan national, were hanged in Adelabad prison in southern city of Shiraz.

The relentless trend of executions, especially the cruel execution of juveniles, youth and women in various Iranian cities during the mullahs' sham presidential election, shows to the extent to which the inhuman clerical regime relies on suppression, execution, and torture to combat popular discontent.

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations, especially the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to condemn the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, and to refer the clerical regime’s human rights violations dossier to the UN Security Council for adoption of immediate and binding measures to end capital punishment in Iran.
