Subsequent to the election of Revolutionary Guardsman-terrorist Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad as president, the clerical regime hanged six people and
sentenced another to death in the past week.
Etemad daily reported yesterday that the Supreme Court upheld the death
sentence against a young man, named Abbas. Charged with murder nine
years ago, the victim will be put to death shortly, the daily wrote.
Sharq daily wrote Thursday that a man named Hajjian was hanged publicly in the northwestern city of Salmas.
Official news agency, IRNA, reported Wednesday, July 6, that three men,
Ali Adelzadeh, Arash Gholamian Khorrassani and Davoud Daliran, were
hanged in public in Qassemabad district of Mashad, northeast Iran. They
had been charged with robbery.

were hanged in Isfahan prison Tuesday, July 5. They had been charged

The Iranian Resistance calls on the international community to condemn
the increasing wave of executions and crackdown in Iran and urges the
United Nations Human Rights Commission to appoint a Special
Representative on the situation of human rights in Iran.
