NCRI – Ahmad Janati, The mullahs' head of powerful Guardian Council, in Friday's sermons thanked the "judiciary, Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the State Security Forces (SSF – mullahs' suppressive police)" for what he called the "execution of thugs," reported the website of the state television. <\/p>\n
"We must uproot these rotten stubs," said Janati referring to the Sunday's mass execution of 29 prisoners in the notorious Tehran Evin prison. <\/p>\n
"We should have started this [executions] ten or twenty years ago," Janati added. <\/p>\n
Taking pride in such barbarity is a clear grimace to the entire civilized world which unanimously condemned the executions.
EU rotary president France, on behalf of the European Union, condemned the Sunday execution and called them an "affront to human dignity." <\/p>\n
"The European Union is deeply concerned by the increasing recourse to the death penalty in Iran in recent months. It urges the Iranian authorities to put an end to death sentences and executions, to establish a moratorium with a view to abolishing the death penalty in accordance with the resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 18 December 2007 and to respect international human rights standards for all Iranians," the EU's statement added. <\/p>\n
Prior to Sunday's executions, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said that issuing press statements against the clerical regime and at the same time maintaining diplomatic, political, security and commercial relations would only embolden it in committing more crimes.
She called on the international and in particular the UN Secretary General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and all other international human rights organizations to prevent the Sunday's hangings. She called for the referral of the mullahs’ human rights dossier to the Security Council for adoption of binding measures against the regime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
