Barbaric punishment of cutting off the hand is carried out in Mashhad

On January 1, the first day of the New Year, the criminals ruling Iran hanged 14 prisoners in the prisons of Bam, Kerman, Bandar Abbas and Qazvin.
In an unprecedented criminal act, four women were collectively hanged in the Bam Prison in Kerman. Moreover, two prisoners were hanged in Bandar Abbas and seven prisoners were collectively hanged in Shahab Prison of Kerman. Another prisoner was also hanged in Boin Zahra Prison in Qazvin Province.
According to state news media, on Saturday, the henchmen of velayat-e faqih regime cut off the hand of a 30 year old prisoner in Mashhad’s prison on charge of thievery.
Execution of 14 prisoners, including four women, on the first day of the New Year only demonstrates the escalating crises of a collapsing mullahs’ regime that is unable to provide the least just requests of the Iranian people and has found the sole solution in confronting the populace rage and loath in ratcheting up the suppression and resorting to barbaric punishments.
Executing and cutting off the hand of Iranian youth on the pretext of thievery or smuggling of drugs is while the greatest thieves in Iran’s history are Khamenei, IRGC commanders, and leaders of various gangs of this regime who have plundered billions of dollars of Iranian people’s property and the clerical regime itself is basically the main culprit in the smuggling of drugs. The wealth of the Executive Committee of Imam’s Order which is a gigantic financial empire and its wealth amounts to $95 billion has been accumulated in its totality from the property of Iranian people as usurped and stolen by Khamenei himself.
Against the backdrop of unheard of plunders by the mullahs, most of the Iranian people are living under the poverty line and the great multitudes of the hungry are even unable to provide the most rudimentary needs of their livelihood and that of their families.
