The antihuman regime of Iran hanged 19 prisoners on June 1 in the cities of Karaj and Urumia.
Twelve prisoners were collectively hanged in Ghezel Hessar Prison of Karaj. They had been transferred to solitary confinement on May 30 in preparation for their death sentences. One of the prisoners lost his life in the solitary confinement before the hanging due to a heart attack. Families of those hanged gathered in front of the prison to receive the corpses of their loved ones. A day earlier, the anti-riot prison guards in Ghezel Hessar attacked and battered the prisoners who are condemned to death who had refused to eat in protest to the collective executions.
In another atrocity, four Kurdish prisoners in Darya Prison of Orumiyeh were collectively hanged. Three of them were cousins.
The religious fascism ruling Iran that is incapable of confronting the escalating domestic and international crises and the expansion of popular protests stops at no atrocity to intensify the atmosphere of terror. On May 30, three prisoners were paraded in the streets of Pakdasht (Tehran Province) under the pretense of “thugs and hoodlums”. Colonel A’dinevand, commander of the security forces in Pakdasht County, said: “People need to be sure that security is not something that anyone may disrupt.”
The sole way to remedy the growing economic and social problems in the dark era of mullahs’ rule is to uproot the thugs and hoodlums ruling Iran that have brought nothing but corruption, prostitution, addiction and unemployment to Iran.
