Iran: Desperate prisoner commits suicide; three prisoners sentenced to death

NCRI – An inmate at the central prison in Isfahan committed suicide on Monday in protest to strains imposed by prison torturers. Explaining the reasons for his action in a suicide note, Islmayil Ayoubi, 23, cited inhumane pressure tactics by the clerical regime’s henchmen, in particular the criminal judge Hosseini, according to the state-run Javan daily on Tuesday.

The regime’s media outlets also reported on several execution sentences issued by the regime’s courts in Khorasan Razavi province (northeastern Iran) and Tehran.

In the Khorasan Razavi province, the clerical regime’s judiciary sentenced a prisoner identified as Hassan to death.

In Tehran, the regime’s Supreme Court upheld a hanging sentence for a prisoner identified only as Mahmoud.

Also in Tehran, a 19 year old, identified as Mojtaba, was sentenced to be hanged, the state-run daily Aftab Yazd reported on Monday.
