The number of executions therefore has reached 53 only during past four weeks.

Meanwhile the head of Ardebil province judiciary announced the death sentence for 85 prisoners under the charge of drug smuggling (FARS News, April 9, 2012)

 The mullahs’ regime on the verge of collapse, incapable of countering increasing internal and external crises, has intensified the level of suppression specially the number of cruel executions in order to contain the Iranian people’s outrage and to prevent the explosion of the people’s anger.

 The Iranian resistance calls on all international human rights organizations and bodies, specially the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special rapporteur of the UN for human rights violations in Iran and the UN rapporteur on executions to act urgently to stop the increasing number of cruel executions in Iran.
