Six people hanged in notorious Evin Prison

NCRI – The mullahs’ regime on Wednesday hanged six people in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison. The regime’s Judiciary gave no details of their identities or charges. The regime on Monday set up a three-man committee comprised of leading henchmen of the regime to see to the files of those arrested in the course of the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising. The members of this committee are among the key officials responsible for the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in summer of 1988 and the chain murders in the late 1990s.

Last Friday, mullah Ahmad Khatami, a member of the regime’s Assembly of Experts, said that protestors had “waged war on God” and urged authorities to “deal with them until they are completely eradicated”.

These executions, which are meant to spread fear and counter the Iranian people’s anger and discontent, will not resolve the very many crises the regime is facing in the final phase of its existence.

The Iranian Resistance urges all governments and international human rights organizations, in particular the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, to end their inaction towards the brutal crimes of the regime and instead condemn it and adopt urgent measures to bring a halt to the executions.
