161 Prisoners, Including 4 Women, Executed in the Past Two Weeks; Two Hanged in Public
In an act of unprecedented cruelty, the henchmen of the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, executed 29 prisoners on Tuesday, December 2, and another 24 prisoners on Wednesday, December 3.
On Wednesday, those hanged included Karamkhoda Sepehri in Bojnurd, Amin Mahdavi in Mahshahr, Mehran Chaboksavar in Neyshabur, Siavash Khosravi in Kashan, Majid Namjoo in Bushehr, Saber Zahedi in Shahr-e Kord, Manouchehr Ahmadi in Borazjan, Azad Changeh in Naqadeh, Rana Farajoghli in Tabriz, Artam Ghafouri in Mahabad, and Safa Jozipour in Gonabad. The names of the other victims were listed in a prior statement.
Those executed on Tuesday include Malek Gerayi in Ilam, Aziz Sheikhi in Ferdows, Hamed Kazazi and another prisoner in Shiraz, Amirreza Shahmohammadi in Zanjan, Farshid Karami in Damghan, Esfandiar Zakipour in Quchan, Fariborz Niazi in Malayer, and Mohammad Javad Aminpour in Ardabil. The names of the other executed prisoners were also listed in the prior statement.
Additionally, on Thursday, December 4, several more prisoners were executed. Two of the victims have so far been identified as Hosseinali Yeganeh in Birjand and Rahim Mansouri in Kashmar.
This brings the number of executions in the past two weeks to 161, including four women. During this period, two prisoners were also hanged in public in Semnan in a display of medieval brutality.
The disgraceful and wretched system of the velayat-e faqih (absolute clerical rule) cannot survive for a single day without torture, execution, and massacres. The clerical regime, which holds the record for executions in the 21st century, must be ostracized by the international community, and its leaders must be brought to justice. The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations and its relevant bodies, the European Union, and its member states to take urgent action to save the lives of prisoners on death row.
