NCRI – A prisoner in Iran is to be hanged for the second time after he ‘becomes well again’ after surviving the first execution. The 37-year-old man named as Alireza M was hanged in Bojnourd prison last Wednesday.
His family went to collect his body the next day but he found him still breathing.
One family member told state-run website Jamejamonline: “We went to the coroner’s office collect his body to prepare for a memorial service. But we found him alive again, which made his two daughters very happy.”
Jamejamonline reported that people expected the prisoner who had been hanged on drug charges to be pardoned after surviving the execution, but one judiciary said that the death verdict means taking someone’s life according to the law and since his life not was not taken on Wednesday the prisoner has to be executed one more time.
Alireza M had survived but he is now is on death row again to be executed once he gets well.
Since the sham presidential election in June, at least 240 prisoners have executed, including 10 women.
Meanwhile, just in Ghezel Hessar prison, 3000 prisoners are on the death row. To facilitate group hangings, the clerical regime has put up stages in Ghezel Hessar prison for concurrent hanging of 24 and covertly hangs a number of prisoners every week.
Concurrent with arbitrary executions, medieval punishments such as hand amputations, blinding and cutting off the ear complements the cycle of atrocity and terror in mullahs’ regime. Six verdicts of hand amputation in Shiraz, four sentences of stoning, including that of two women in Tabriz, and a decree to gouge out the eye and cut off the ear of an imprisoned laborer in Tehran, is another example of the atrocity of henchmen ruling Iran.
