On Wednesday, July22, the antihuman regime of Iran collectively hanged 10 prisoners in a criminal act in Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison of Karaj. Another prisoner was hanged on this same day in Esfahan prison. These atrocities were committed concurrent with the protest gathering of educators who were demanding freedom for imprisoned teachers and their trampled over rights.
In face of escalating popular loath and discontent, the religious fascism ruling Iran dubbed godfather of ISIS by the Iranian people, unable to take care of the rightful demands of the majority of the Iranian people who are living under the poverty line, is constantly ramping up suppression.
In its statement on July 23, Amnesty International noted the shocking 700 executions in just six months and wrote: “Iran’s staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of state carrying out premeditated judicially-sanctioned killing on a mass scale.”
The Iranian Resistance calls on the Iranian people, especially the courageous youth, to stage protests against the catastrophic situation of human rights in Iran and to support the families of victims of executions and suppression. It also urges the international community to adopt a firm policy vis-à-vis the Iranian regime.
