The number of executions in one week rose to 21; since Pezeshkian took office, the total reached 214 prisoners
Ali Khamenei, terrified of an uprising by the enraged public and rebellious youth and anxious over the devastating blows he has suffered in the region, spares no crime to bolster the morale of his forces and prevent the escalation of protests. In a brutal act, on Monday, September 30, 2024, two prisoners were hanged in public in Khomeyn for the killing of an officer of the suppressive State Security Force in December 2020.
On Thursday, September 26, 2024, Amanullah Nahtani was executed in Zahedan Prison, another prisoner was executed in Isfahan, and Milad Ekhlaspour was executed in Kerman Prison. On Wednesday, September 25, 2024, in addition to the four prisoners whose executions were previously announced, Ayoub Sa’di Khani was hanged in Shiraz.
Thus, the number of executions in the past week has reached 21, and since Pezeshkian took office in July, it has reached 214 prisoners, eight of whom have been female.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations, relevant bodies, the European Union, and its member states to take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners facing execution. The regime interprets inaction in the face of the wave of executions as a green light to continue its crimes and warmongering. Political and economic relations with the regime must be conditioned on the cessation of executions and torture.
