Iran: Execution of a young prisoner in public

ncri-statement-400

On August 11, 2016, the antihuman clerical regime hanged Hossein Abdollahi, 33, in public in one of the main boulevards of the city of Ravansar in Kermanshah Province. He was charged with killing the head of the judiciary of Ravansar, one of the main agents of suppression and murder of the people of this region.

From the night before, the clerical regime attempted to bring people to the streets to watch the execution in order to create an atmosphere of fear and terror. But the people of Ravansar expressed their anger and hatred of the mullahs’ regime and its inhumane punishments by refusing to go to the execution site.
The Iranian Resistance stresses that resorting to street executions is a sign of fear by the faltering clerical regime of public uprisings, especially in areas where people suffer doubly from oppression, and it calls on the Iranian youth to confront the regime’s suppressive policy and show solidarity with the families of prisoners and victims of this regime.
