Human rights organizations: Iran must stop execution of 33 Sunnis

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other organizations signed a statement calling on Iran to stop the execution of 33 Sunnis. The charges raised against most of these individuals are propaganda against the state, ‘corruption on Earth’ and ‘moharebe’ (enmity against God).
In this statement issued on Thursday, June 22nd, it is stated that most of these individuals were arrested in 2009 and 2010 in Iranian Kurdistan, and prior to being prosecuted in court they had been detained in solitary confinement and without access to lawyers, and most probably tortured or held in atrocious conditions.
The intelligence gathered by these organizations indicates these individuals completely deny participation in any armed actions and they are saying the reason for their arrests is their religious beliefs.
