NCRI – The following is a statement issued by the Secretariat of the NCRI on July 12:
In the past 24 hours, the mullahs’ inhuman regime hanged seven people in three cities; Zabol, Shahroud, and Boroujerd.
According to the official news agency IRNA, on July 12, the mullahs’ judiciary hanged four young men in pubic in the southeastern town of Zabol. IRNA also reported that Ali-Reza Ranjbar, a young man, was hanged in a prison in the town of Boroujerd, western Iran.
The state-run news agency Fars reported that a 31-year-old man called Davoud was hanged in public in the northern town of Shahroud. A man, identified only by his first name Behzad, 34, was hanged in public in the central city of Isfahan, according to the state-run daily, Etemad Melli.
The unprecedented increase in the number of executions since Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to power is a desperate attempt by the medieval clerical regime to create an atmosphere of fear in order to overcome the explosive state of the nation.
The Iranian Resistance calls on international human rights organizations to condemn the vicious wave of executions in Iran and urges the referral of the regime’s horrific file on violations of human rights to the United Nations Security Council.
