13 PEOPLE WERE HANGED IN TEHRAN- ONE HANGED IN ISFAHAN
Iran Human Rights, June 8: According to reliable sources 13 people were hanged in the prison of Ghezel Hesar Monday morning June 7. The official Iranian media have not broadcasted the news yet. On Sunday, Iran Human Rights reported that 26 people had been transferred to the quarantine section of Ghezel Hesar prison prior to execution. There are no further news about the fate of the others who were transferred to the quarantine section.
The fact that the Iranian official have not broadcasted the news gives us reason to eblieve that the real number of the executions are much higher than what the human rights sources report.
Iran Human Rights has urged the UN and all the countries with diplomatic and economic ties with Iran to do whatever they can to stop the execution wave in Iran. Hanging of the prisoners is one of the means Iranian regime uses to spread fear among the people in order to prevent new protests.
According to the official site of Judiciary in Isfahan a man identified as Reza A (26) was hanged in the prison of Isfahan on Sunday morning June 6. He was convicted of keeping 172 grams of crack.
The human rights lawyer Mohammad Mostafaei had confirmed yesterday’s hangings in Tehran on his personal web site. They were all allegedly convicted of drug trafficking. Some of those executed yesterday in Tehran are identified as:
Ahmad Shah Bakhsh
