 6 prisoners hanged and 2 others condemned to death in past week by anti-human clerical regime
NCRI - State-run media reported that in the past week alone the anti-human
clerical regime in Iran has hanged 6 prisoners in public and handed
down 2 death sentences. One of the death sentences was for a woman
prisoner and the other for a teenager who was only 16 years-old at the
time of the alleged crime.
Three prisoners were hanged in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah,
two in the northern city of Gorgan, and one other in the city of Gazvin
in the northeastern part of Iran. State-run daily Iran reported on
November 15 that a man whose wife was executed in 2003 was hanged. The
government-controlled Kayhan also reported on November 13 that two men
were hanged in public in the town square of Gorgan.
That brings the number of hangings and death sentences in the last five
months, since the start of Ahmadinejad's term as president of the
clerical regime, to 100 persons.
Last week the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly issued a
strongly worded condemnation of the continuation of torture and
executions in Iran, particularly of youth under 18 years of age. This
amounts to the 52nd resolution in condemnation of the violations of
human rights in Iran.
The Iranian Resistance recalls that the anti-human clerical regime in
Iran has disregarded 52 resolutions of various UN bodies condemning its
continued human rights violations, and therefore calls for the referral
of the Iranian regime's criminal file of human rights violations to the
UN Security Council for adoption of appropriate measures.
