NCRI – The Iranian regime hanged two prisoners in Arak Province on Tuesday, February 12th. The two were identified by their initials, ‘A. M.’ and ‘R.M.’
Furthermore, the Iranian regime sentenced four others to death in Qazvin Central prison.
On January 23, the Iranian regime publically hanged Alireza Mafiha, 20, and Mohammad-Ali Sarvari, 23, accused of Moharebeh(waging war against God) and “corruption on earth”. The two young men had been accused of stealing 150 thousand Tomans (less than 35 Euros) while carrying cold weapons. Even though the plaintiffs in the case had opposed the sentence, the regime hanged the two young prisoners to follow its own objectives in creating an atmosphere of horror, fear, and absolute repression in order to prevent any public expression discontent especially as the regime’s sham presidential election is approaching.
The increase in public hanging and executions has raised international outrage. On Friday February 8th the Belgian MPs demanded an urgent action to stop the wave of executions in Iran.
