The Iranian regime, the godfather of executions, terrorism, and warmongering, must be expelled from the international community and its leaders brought to justice.
Facing an overthrow crisis and in fear of public outrage, Khamenei has brutally and frantically intensified prisoner executions.
Today, Wednesday, October 23, 2024, Khamenei’s executioners put to death four prisoners in Karaj Central Prison and four prisoners, including 25-year-old Mohammad Koushki, 65-year-old Babakhan Jafari, and 33-year-old Arman Naserzadeh in Qezelhessar Prison of Karaj, along with one prisoner named Armin Aghcheli in Gorgan. On Tuesday, October 22, Mehdi Cheraghi, 34, was hanged in Ghorveh Prison, and Salman Aghaei was hanged in Shiraz.
The number of executed prisoners in the Iranian month of Mehr 1403 (September 22 to October 21, 2024) has reached 150, which is 85% higher than last Mehr’s executions (81 executions in Mehr 1402) – the final year of the ’88 executioner Raisi’s presidency – and represents the highest figure in recent years. The names of 147 execution victims were previously announced. Hassan Khodabandehloo and another prisoner were executed in Qom on October 16. Thus, Khamenei continues to break his records of cruelty and crime!
Negotiation and appeasement toward the godfather of execution, terrorism, and warmongering only encourage the regime to trample human rights values further and endanger global peace. These very elements form the founding philosophy of the United Nations. The clerical regime must be expelled from the international community, and its leaders must face justice for four decades of crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. This is the demand of the Iranian people and a requirement for peace and stability in the region and the world.
