Despite continuous condemnation of human rights in Iran particularly the recent condemnation by the world body of violation of human rights and shocking increase in the number of executions in past two year in Iran, the fundamentalist regime on Thursday hanged a group of eight prisoners in the central prison in Qazvin, northern Iran.
Among those executed was a 42-year-old Kurdish prisoner called Rahim Karim-Mokarram, according to local reports.
Another eight prisoners were hanged en masse on Tuesday, December 22, in Qazvin Prison.
On Wednesday, December 23, the mullahs’ regime hanged five people in a prison in Kerman, eastern Iran. Among the five were Yousef Rigi, from the south-eastern city of Zahedan, and two prisoners originally from Saravan, south-eastern Iran.
Also on Wednesday two people were hanged in the notorious Qezel-Hesar Prison in Karaj, north-west of Tehran. They had received drugs-related charges.
Following the December 17 adoption of the 62nd United Nations General Assembly resolution censuring human rights abuses in Iran, the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect Maryam Rajavi called on the UN Security Council to hold officials of the Iranian regime accountable and prosecute them for crimes against humanity. She underlined that this is a necessary step towards respecting the international community’s vote that condemned the systematic and flagrant violations of human rights in Iran.
