 Since the start of the year, the mullahs' regime hanged more than 50 prisoners
NCRI - The mullahs' regime hanged six prisoners not naming them in the northern city of Zanjan, the state television reported on Wednesday.
Separately, four prisoners identified as Peyman, Saber, Mohammad and Aliakbar were hanged in the notorious Evin prison, the state-run news agency Fars reported today.
Since the start of the year, the Iranian regime has sent at least 50 prisoners to gallows. In past 24 hours alone, sixteen prisoners were executed in Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad and Zanjan.
With new increase in popular uprisings and protests by workers, students, women and youths, the medieval mullahs' regime in its faltering state has turned to more executions.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and all international human rights organizations to condemn the increasing number of executions by the Iranian regime. The Resistance also calls for referral of the Iranian regime's human rights dossier and its state sponsorship of terrorism to the UN Security Council. It also calls for urgent measures to halt the executions and other cruel and degrading punishments in Iran.
