Hanging of 21 people in Iran in one day shocked the world. That was part of a new wave of executions which has been going on for over two months. Amnesty International released yesterday condemning the on going executions by the mullahs’ regime:
This statement reads: “the total number of executions recorded by the organization since the start of 2007 to 210.
This figure exceeds the 177 executions recorded in 2006, although the true figure for both years is likely to be higher. At least two child offenders were among those executed to date in 2007.
Amnesty International has catalogued scores of unfair trials in recent years and the organisation is concerned that many of those executed today faced unfair trials, and a failure to ensure that fair trial safeguards in death penalty cases are implemented in all cases without exemption or discrimination. ”
According to this statement: “Under Iranian law, the accused has no right to legal representation prior to being formally charged.”
