Iranian regime judiciary official says “proud of” inhumane amputation sentences

Ebrahim RaeesiNCRI – A judiciary official of the Iranian regime has proclaimed that he takes “pride in ‎implementing amputation sentences,” according to Daneshjou News this week.‎

Ebrahim Raeesi, the First Deputy of the mullahs’ Judiciary, said, “When a sentence ‎becomes final by the judge about cutting off a hand, it must be implemented.”‎

He added, “Sentences for amputating hands were implemented in the past and are not ‎only carried out today.”‎

In 1988, Raeesi was a part of a three-member “death committee” when the regime carried ‎out a massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the span of a few months, most of whom ‎were supporters of the main opposition, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ‎‎(PMOI/MEK).‎
