NCRI – Over the weekend, the mullahs’ henchmen hanged seven people, the semi-official daily Jomhouri-Islami reported on September 26. The men were identified as Khoda-Morad Lashgar-Zadeh, Ali Karimi, Gholam Koohkan, Abdul-Ali Baluch, Sheback, Shah-Mohammad Barik-Zehi, and Nader Rigi. The latter two were Afghan citizens.
The mullahs’ judiciary sentenced a man to have one of his eye’s gouged out in the north-eastern city of Mashhad, the state-run daily Quds reported on September 26.
Cruel and inhumane punishments such as eye gouging and limb amputation have dramatically increased in recent months in Iran.
The Iranian Resistance draws the attention of international human rights organizations to the increasing number of executions in recent weeks. It calls on the current session of the United Nations General Assembly to condemn the grave violations of human rights in Iran by the mullahs’ medieval regime.
