On Wednesday, February 19, a prisoner was hanged in public in Kouzehgari Square of Shiraz. Also on February 13, two prisoners had been publicly hanged in this same square.
Meanwhile, the Mehr news agency affiliated with regime’s Ministry of Intelligence, reported on a prisoner condemned to the barbaric punishment of “cutting off one hand and one foot”.
As such, the number of registered executions since the beginning of 2014 reached 132 of which 32 executions were conducted during the recent week and after the protests by Bakhtiari compatriots in different cities of the country with the objective of intensifying terror and preventing the spread of the uprising.
It is many years now that in its never-ending and fruitless series of negotiations on the nuclear issue, the West has closed its eyes to the barbaric violation of human rights in Iran and the escalating executions and barbaric and savage punishments such as cutting off the hands and feet. Silence and inaction in face of growing oppression since Mullah Rouhani’s assumption of office, whatever the excuse, encourages this regime to continue with its anti-human atrocities.
Once again, the Iranian Resistance underscores the necessity for the referral of the dossier of systematic violation of human rights in Iran to the United Nations Security Council.
