Iran: Prisoners Hanged in Zahedan

NCRI – Iranian regime on Monday hanged three men in southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province, state-run media reported.  The men, identified as Abdolaziz Esmail Zehi, Abdoljamal Shahbakhsh and Ali Akbar Shahbakhsh, were hanged on Monday morning in a prison in the provincial capital of Zahedan, the website of state broadcasting said.

The Iranian regime recently has expedited mass executions. At least 19 prisoners have been hanged in Tehran and other cities in the past two weeks. Among those executed or to be executed are some political prisoners who are charged with ordinary crimes.

Inaction by the international community and in particular the European Union vis-à-vis the mass executions in Iran and ongoing deals and relations with the criminal regime while killing of Iranian people is taking place means nothing but collaboration with the regime in suppression of the people.

The number of executions has rapidly stepped up in Iran following the unlawful re-designation of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in the EU’s terror list in defiance of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities’ ruling by the EU. The shameful terror label against the main Iranian opposition has been considered as a green light by the regime to continue with its crimes and murder.
