NCRI – Iranian regime henchman have hanged a group of six prisoners in the southern city of Shiraz and two inmates in the city of Kerman.
The eight inmates were part of a group who had been transferred to isolation on Wednesday to await their execution in prisons across the country.
In Shiraz the six inmates were hanged in Adel-Abad prison. Three of them had been arrested on drug related charges.
In Iran, under the rule of mullahs and under Hassan Rouhani, death penalty is being widely used.
Since August 2013, when Hassan Rouhani took office as a ‘moderate’ president, over 1,000 – mostly officially announced – executions have been carried out in Iran.
At least 27 women and more than a dozen prisoners who were juveniles at the time of their arrest, together with 20 political prisoners, are amongst those hanged, many publicly.
