Iran: Four executions, including one woman, on international Human Rights Day

The machine of torture and slaughter of the anti-human regime of mullahs kept working even on the international Human Rights Day and on December 10 four prisoners were hanged in Karaj and Qazvin. A woman and an Afghan national were among those executed. As such, just in the past 17 days, 55 people, including three women, have been executed.

In another development on December 9, regime’s suppressive elements attacked the prisoners of Ward 6 of Gohardasht Prison badly battering and injuring them. The henchmen sent around 1000 prisoners outdoors without adequate warm clothing in cold weather on the pretext of inspecting the ward. Following prisoners’ protest, prison’s Special Guard force, commanded by head henchmen Baqeri and Major Mansour Safari, beat up all prisoners using batons, plastic water pipes, and electric shockers. They destroyed prisoners’ belongings or stole them.
In a conference on the international Human Rights Day at the European Parliament on Wednesday Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, stated that under the mullahs’ rule there is no such thing as human rights. Since the election of Hassan Rouhani as President, at least 1200 people have been executed. In the past 25 years, we have not seen as many executions as in the first year of Rouhani’s presidency. Nor have we seen so many opposition members massacred or taken hostage. Nor have we seen Iranian women targeted by such criminal campaigns to such an extent.
Rajavi condemned the conduct of Western governments that sacrifice human rights in Iran for the sake of their relations with the religious dictatorship or for the nuclear negotiations and called for all ties with the Iranian regime to be linked to the improvement of the situation of human rights and for the leaders of this regime to face justice for their crimes.
