63 executions from November 17 to 20 alone, one every 90 minutes; the wave continues with at least 8 executions on November 22.
Terrified of an explosion of public anger from a populace weary of the regime’s escalating oppression, the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is continually increasing the number of executions. According to reports received to date, 304 prisoners were hanged in the Persian month of Aban (October 23 – November 21), the highest figure in the last 37 years. Among the victims in Aban were eight female prisoners.
In just the four days from Monday, November 17, to Thursday, November 20, 63 prisoners fell victim to Khamenei’s execution machine, averaging one every ninety minutes. Khamenei has begun the month of Azar by continuing this wave of executions, with eight victims identified so far.
The victims on the first day of Azar (November 22) include Yarvali Haseli and Yaser Abdoli in Kermanshah, Jassem Aghaei in Karaj, Rastin Bahador (Baharvand) in Khorramabad, Homayoun Shokrollahi in Borujerd, Jafar Najjari, 30, and another prisoner in Hamedan, and Houshang Hashemzadeh, 34, in Sari.
On November 20, seven prisoners were executed: Erfan Azadi in Kashmar, Mahan Sheikhi in Saveh, Mobin Ramezani and Hassan Shokat in Yazd, Nemat Majidzadeh and Mehran Darabian, 27, in Semnan, and Mozaffar Abdolvand, 30, in Dorud.
On November 19, the number of executions reached 19. They included Shahrokh Sattari in Ardabil, Mohammad Karim Bastami in Quchan, Ebrahim Khani in Yasuj, Reza Nosrati, 25, and Mansour Dirin, 36, in Shiraz. The names of 14 other victims were mentioned in a previous statement.
On November 18, 18 prisoners were sent to the gallows: Yahya Karami, Saman Abbasi, 31, and Moslem Naderi, 36, in Isfahan, and Heydar Tahmasbi in Mahshahr. The names of the other victims were mentioned in a previous statement.
On November 17, 19 prisoners were hanged: Asad Pirbab, 30, and Jahangir Hesari in Zanjan, and one prisoner in Ferdows. The names of the other executed prisoners were provided in a previous statement.
Silence, inaction, and dealing and negotiating with the godfather of execution and terrorism in the 21st century violate the universal principles of human rights, which were achieved at the cost of millions of victims. This regime must be ostracized from the international community, and its ringleaders must be brought to justice for nearly five decades of crimes against humanity and genocide.
