NCRI – In an open letter to Italian Foreign Minister on September 14, the “Hands Off Cain” community has asked Paolo Gentiloni to raise the issue of death penalty in Iran during the current session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
According to “Hands Off Cain”, following Italy’s decision to strengthen its political and economic ties with Iran and during the days when Mohammad Javad Larijani, Secretary General of the Iranian regime’s Human Rights Council, is at the top of a delegation staying in Rome to participate in a seminar on comparing criminal justice systems, it is essential that Italy, as a leading country in fight against the death penalty, show a powerful figure and put international pressure on Iran to end the death penalty.
The “Hands Off Cain” community continues: “It is quite possible in Iran to be sent to the gallows for blasphemy, apostasy, non-violent crimes or for totally political reasons.”
In their letter, the “Hands Off Cain” community asks the Italian Foreign Minister to boost the pressures on the Iranian regime and to discuss the sharp deterioration of human rights violations and the use of mass executions by the Iranian regime during the current session of the UN Human Rights Council which is underway in Geneva.
