The Iranian Resistance calls on international human rights organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of 10 prisoners transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their antihuman execution in prisons in Karaj (Ghezel-Hessar) and Zahedan.<\/p>\n
On April 24, the regime\u2019s henchmen transferred seven prisoners on death row to solitary confinement in Ghezel-Hessar prison in preparation for their execution.<\/p>\n
Three other prisoners on death row in Zahedan\u2019s central prison were transferred to solitary confinement one more time. Transfer of prisoners to the quarantined ward, special to the prisoners about to be executed, or taking them to the hanging poles to see the execution of other prisoners, are ordinary methods employed to pressure and psychologically torture prisoners in the prisons of the velayat-e faqih regime.<\/p>\n
On April 18, Mullah Sadeq Larijani, head of the regime\u2019s judiciary, defended the death sentence by saying: \u201cBy the laws of the Islamic Republic, we don\u2019t have execution for the sake of killing people; rather, this is Qisas which is a sort of right.\u201d Mullah Rouhani, the so-called moderate President of this regime, has similarly described death sentences as \u201cdivine command\u201d and \u201claws of a parliament that belong to the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wave of executions, especially of young people, demonstrates the regime\u2019s fear of popular discontent and increasing protests by the disgruntled Iranian people and in particular millions of youths who are tired of poverty, corruption, addiction, unemployment and other social problems, which are the product of the mullahs\u2019 rule, and demand the overthrow of the religious fascism ruling Iran.<\/p>\n
