14 Criminal Executions in Three Days

Nine Baluch Compatriots Executed: A Vicious Cycle of Revenge and Oppression

In a blind and criminal act of vengeance against Baluch defiant youths, and in a ruthless attempt to suppress their courageous uprising, Ali Khamenei hanged at least nine prisoners of Baluch compatriots in the past three days.

On Tuesday, August 1st, Khamenei’s executioners executed three Baluch compatriots in Zahedan Prison, another prisoner in Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz, and an Afghan national in Zabol Prison.

The previous day, July 31, four Baluch compatriots, Saeed Barahoui, Ali Barahoui (Khan Mohammad), Khodarahm Mohammadani (Latif), and Farhad Badrouzeh (Naroui), were executed in Zahedan Central Prison and Birjand Central Prison. On the same day, an Afghan national in Zabol Prison fell victim to the regime’s cold-blooded executioners.

On Sunday, July 30, two Baluch compatriots, Baydollah Gorgich and Shahsavar Shahriari (Palangi), were hanged in Zahedan Central Prison, and another Afghan national, Mohammad Arbab, was executed in Zabol Prison.

On Sunday, another prisoner named Hamid Askari Nia faced the gallows at Qom Central Prison. The regime’s bloodthirsty judiciary also executed a Baluch compatriot named Massoud Shahbakhsh (Notizehi) in Zahedan Central Prison on Wednesday, July 21.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated that Khamenei, through these savage executions, especially those of Baluch compatriots, intensifies an atmosphere of terror to prevent the explosion of people’s anger and uprisings. They seek revenge against Baluch brave youth and desperately try to suppress their uprising.

Mrs. Rajavi called on the United Nations, the European Union, and member states to put an end to their silence and inaction against a regime with the highest rate of torture and execution in the 21st century. She urged for immediate action to halt the killing machine of this bloodthirsty regime, emphasizing that the Iranian people pay the price of appeasement and negotiation with the bloody mullahs through more executions.
