Based on reports received from inside Iran one of the ten prisoners executed on Monday, September 7th in Ghezel Hessar Prison, Karaj, west of Tehran, was a teacher identified as Mahmoud Barati.
Amnesty International had issued a statement on Monday demanding Barati’s execution be halted. However, henchmen in Iran neglected this call and had this teacher executed.
Barati was a teacher from the city of Taibad and he was innocent, according to those close to him.
He was in various prison and torture chambers for 9 years and there was no narcotics found in his possession, in contrast to the claims raised by the Iranian regime.
