NCRI – The mullahs’ regime in Iran on Wednesday hanged five prisoners collectively in the Central Prison of Karaj, north-west of Tehran.

The five prisoners, hanged at dawn on Wednesday (September 2), were between the ages of 28 and 30.

Four of them were identified as Mostafa Akhundzadeh, Hossein Jalali, Majid Rezai, and Hamid Farji.

The fifth prisoner was not identified.

Iran’s fundamentalist regime on Tuesday also hanged four prisoners in the north-western city of Tabriz and the western city of Sanandaj. Another prisoner was hanged in public in the southern city of Bandar Abbas on Monday.

A statement by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein on August 5 said: “Iran has reportedly executed more than 600 individuals so far this year. Last year, at least 753 people were executed in the country.”
