In the past week the mullahs' judiciary has carried out more than 33 executions. On Sunday alone 29 prisoners were hanged in the notorious Tehran's Evin prison.
Amnesty International in its 2008 report strongly condemned the human rights violations in Iran.
"The authorities continued to suppress dissent. Journalists, writers, scholars, and women’s rights and community activists were subject to arbitrary arrest, travel bans, closure of their NGOs and harassment. Armed opposition, mainly by Kurdish and Baluchi groups, continued, as did state repression of Iran’s minority communities. Discrimination against women remained entrenched in law and practice. Torture and other ill-treatment were widespread in prisons and detention centers. A security clampdown announced in April was marked by a sharp rise in executions; at least 335 people were executed, among them seven child offenders. Sentences of stoning to death, amputation and flogging continued to be passed and carried out," Amnesty wrote in its report.
