Three inmates in the prisons of Shiraz and Tabriz were executed on Tuesday, April 18. Ten days prior to these executions, authorities in Adel Abad Prison of Shiraz had horrifically amputated the inmate’s hand. One of the two prisoners executed in Tabriz Central Prison was 28 years of age.
In the meantime, two prisoners arrested for their crime while under the age of 18 are now facing execution. Mehdi Bahluli, 17 years of age when arrested, is currently held in solitary confinement of Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran. Peyman Barandah, arrested at the age of 16 for his alleged crime, is on death row in Shiraz Central Prison.
The Iranian Resistance calls on Iranians from all walks of life, especially the youth, to protest such vicious punishments and arbitrary executions, specifically the hanging of juveniles. This movement also calls on the international community to strongly condemn this unprecedented barbarity in the 21st century and hinge their relations with the Iranian regime on the immediately revocation of executions and inhumane punishments.
