Iran: 37 executions in various cities, 3 in public

From May 19th to 21st, the antihuman clerical regime of Iran executed 37 people in prisons or on the streets of various cities. Three were executed in public in the cities of Qouchan, Minab and Shiraz. The execution in Minab was carried out in a sport stadium in this town to further horrify the youth.
In Shiraz, the condemned prisoner who was about to be hanged, was also sentence to 111 lashes before being executed.
Just on May 20 and 21, twenty-four prisoners were executed in three group-hangings in Ghezel Hessar and Gohardasht prisons in Karaj, west of Tehran. Eight were hanged in the early morning hours of Thursday, May 21, in Ghezel Hessar Prison. They were among the prisoners who had protested the wave of collective and secret executions in that prison on 17 August 2014 in order to stop the execution of a number of their cellmates and had clashed with prison guards.
Execution of nine prisoners in two groups in prisons of Shiraz and Arak on May 19 plus another prisoner in the central prison of Arak are the other crimes of this regime in this time span.
The objective of the savage regime of velayat-e faqih that the Iranian people call it the Godfather of ISIS is to intensify the atmosphere of terror and horror in order to control social protests that have turned into a nightmare for the clerical regime.
