The anti-human regime of Iran transferred 5 prisoners to the solitary in Uremia Prison, yesterday. But 4 of them were executed later. According to the reports this crime happened on Monday April 20th. There is no news on the condition of the fifth prisoner, and regime has been silent about this crime.
Families of these prisoners went to the Urumia Prison, after they found out that there is a possibility of executing their loved ones, and gathered in front of the entrance gates of the Prison. Prison guards intervened and provoked a violent scene. Bottles and stones were thrown bringing down glasses at the entrance gate.
Earlier, the National Council of Iranian Resistance (NCIR) issued a statement saying 65 prisoners had been executed in other cities during last week. The statement says: In face of extensive domestic and external crises, especially pursuant to one-step retreat in the nuclear negotiations, and concurrent with the expansion of protests by teachers and workers, as well as other strata of the society, the anti-human clerical regime has unprecedentedly ramped up executions in fear of growing popular uprisings. Over 70% of the executions have been carried out in secret and the clerical regime has not published any information on these atrocities.
In the past week (from April 12 to 18), henchmen hanged at least 65 prisoners. Forty-five of these have been executed just in Karaj City prisons.
