NCRI – The head of ‘Human Rights Council’ of the Iranian regime’s judiciary said on Tuesday the world should ‘praise’ the regime for ‘surge in executions’ and criticized the international organization for condemning the atrocities.
Mohammad Javad Larijani told state-run news agency Tasnimnews: ” Unfortunately, instead of praising Iran for the surge in executions and its decisive action countering drug smuggling , International bodies have used this for a human rights offensive against Iran.”
“It is obvious that such offensive has no basis in human rights and their main goal is to target the law of Retribution,” he said. He described the inhumane law as the a law that carries ‘life.’
Larijani’s remarks come as the highest court in clerical regime ruling Iran approved the sentence of a young man to have his eyes gouged and his right ear and nose cutoff, state-run daily Shraq reported.
The man identified by his first name Jamshid was convicted last october of deliberately pouring acid on the face of a girl named Shirin which caused her to lose eyesight and right ear.
The Iranian regime’s judiciary officials have publicly defended the cutting off of hands and feet, the removal of a “defendant’s” eye, and even stoning as very real part of their judicial law.
On February 19, 2014, the state-run Mehr news agency affiliated with the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), stated that a prisoner has been condemned to the barbaric punishment of “cutting off one hand and one foot”.
The Iranian regime has sent at least 12 prisoners to gallows in various cities across Iran in the six days period of February 25 to March 2, raising the number of the executions to at least 150 since the beginning of 2014.
The Wednesday’s public hanging of a young prisoners in city of Karaj moments after being beaten by hangmen for demanding to see his mother, has created much anger in the public that the Iranian regime’s officials are worried about its widespread backlash.
The state-run Mehr news agency reported on Sunday that “the footage widely distributed on the internet has changed the atmosphere for the benefit of those who had been condemned” to death for crimes.
“Following the hanging, expression of anger by social network users went so far that some claimed those executed had been innocent and even some unknown reason were given that the prisoners are had been victims themselves,” the report added.
