Iran: 127 Executions Since December 21, and at least 774 Executions During Pezeshkian’s Tenure
Ali Khamenei, the wretched Vali-e Faqih of the mullahs’ regime, besieged by internal crises and facing deadly regional defeats, is increasingly resorting to the execution of defenseless prisoners in his fear of the people’s uprising. Each day, more Iranians are left in mourning, more children are orphaned, and more families are left without a breadwinner.
The number of recorded executions in the Iranian month of Dey reached at least 113. In the first three days of the Iranian month of Bahman, at least 14 prisoners were hanged, bringing the total number of executions in the six months since Pezeshkian took office to at least 774.
On Wednesday, January 22, the regime’s judiciary sent seven prisoners to the gallows, including Javad Jaberi and Omid Besharatlu in Qezel Hesar, as well as Ahmad Sasouli, a 28-year-old Baluch compatriot, along with three other prisoners in Yazd. On the same day, a prisoner in Saveh was executed for the killing of Rasul Mahdavipour, the commander of the repressive State Security Force (SSF) in Zarand.
On Monday, January 20, five prisoners were hanged, including Aref Azizi and Gholamreza Seyed Mohammadkhani in Mashhad, Saeed Dayani in Isfahan, Hojat Shahriari in Borazjan, and Ehsan Heidarali in Qazvin. On Tuesday, January 21, Sardar Mohammad in Bandar Abbas and Karim Faridi in Zanjan were also executed.
