NCRI – According to media reports, more individuals are sentenced to death in Iran for bogus reasons. Reporting from Kermanshah Province, western Iran, state controlled daily Aftab-e Yazd quoted the local commander of the State Security Forces (SSF) as saying that more people are going to be hanged in public in the Province.
By describing dissatisfied youths as “thugs and hooligans,” the Revolutionary Guards Commander Amir Geravand said, “So far a number of thugs and hooligans have been hanged in public and in prisons and in a near future more of these people are going to be hanged in public in different cities across the Province.”
Commander of the SSF in Fars Province, central Iran, expressed his unease on 15-year jail sentences for some of those arrested in a suppressive measure called “Social Security Scheme.” Revolutionary Guard Ali Moayedi stressed that those individuals should had been sentenced to maximum penalty. That is death under the clerical rule in Iran.
Commander of the SSF in Greater Tehran also spoke about further suppressive measures. He said, “We are determined to adopt harsher measures against thugs and hooligan.” In an interview with the state-run daily Jumhouri on August 26, Revolutionary Guard Ahmad-Reza Radan added that women should remain under constant security and judicial pressures.
