Outrage at execution of political prisoners in Iran

Outrage at execution of political prisoners in IranNCRI – Following the reports about the date set for execution of a political prisoner in Iran, human rights organizations as well as Iranian communities around the world expressed their outrage at the extent of brutalities going on in Iran.

According to the Iranian Resistance, the mullahs’ regime informed in writing Mr. Valiollah Feiz-Mahdavi, member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of his death sentence to be carried out on May 16.

Valiollah Feiz-Mahdavi, 28 was arrested in 2001 and subsequently sentenced to death in a kangaroo court. 

The Iranian Resistance has appealed on international organizations and authorities, especially the United Nations Human Rights Council and the High Commissioner for Human Rights, to take urgent action to stop the execution of Mr. Feiz-Mahdavi.

Iranian communities in the United States condemned the death sentence against Mr. Feiz-Mahdavi in their public statements. In their statement, the Iranians in South Florida said: "We strongly condemn execution of political prisoners in Iran and urge all governments and international human rights organizations to condemn Iran and put pressure on mullah’s regime to prevent the execution of Mr. Feiz-Mahdavi and other political prisons."

Iranian communities in Ohio, Missouri and other states issued similar appeals to save the lives of political prisoners in Iran.
