This brings the number of recorded executions in the first 17 days of the Persian month of Azar (since November 22) to over 200. During the same period, the regime’s judiciary sentenced a political prisoner to death on charges of supporting the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and upheld the death sentences of six others on the same charge.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, stated that the ruling tyrant, terrified of the popular uprising, will stop at no crime. However, these atrocities only fuel the people’s anger and strengthen the resolve of Iran’s rebellious youth. The international community must take urgent action to stop this crime against humanity in Iran. Silence and inaction only embolden the ruling religious fascism to continue its atrocities.
