Iran: Hundreds gathered outside Sanandaj prison to protest execution

NCRI – Hundreds of residents of western city of Sanandaj in Iran gathered outside the city’s main prison on Wednesday to protest a decision by the regime’s judiciary to execute a prisoner. The Iranian regime had planned to execute Omar Shahbazi who had been condemned to death for an alleged murder.

A crowed of over 400 people gathered in early hours of Wednesday outside the prison.  Around 7:30 am local time the regime’s State Security Forces and anti-riot forces attacked the protesters to disperse the crowd.  As a result a number of woman protesters were wounded but the protest continued.

Once again at around 9:00 am local time attacked the gathering but again they did not succeed to disperse the crowd.  Finally the mullahs were forced to postpone the execution for the time being in order to prevent the spread of protest to other parts of the city and other towns.
