 Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) called for condemnation of crimes by the mullahs' regime
NCRI - On Wednesday, the mullahs' regime sentenced eight women to death who
are currently serving time in the Iranian prisons, the state-run daily
Etemad-Meli reported.
The paper reported, "Eight women have received death sentences by stoning in the Iranian prisons. At least, two of them are in Evin Prison in Tehran, two in Sipedar Prison in [the south-western city of] Ahwaz, one in [the northern city] of Tabriz, one in Varamin [in suburban Tehran], one in Chobin Prison in [the western city of Qazvin], and the last one in Orumieh Prison [northwestern Iran], are spending time in fear and despair."
The NCRI's Women's Committee Chair Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz said that having admitted the implementation of such crimes by the mullahs on Tuesday, July 10, means that they are planning to continue similar cruel and degrading punishments to create public fear.
She called on the United Nations and all human rights organizations as well as women activists to condemn the crimes of the mullahs' medieval regime and adopt measures to put an end to inhuman behavior.
