NCRI – The Iranian regime’s henchmen hanged five prisoners on Saturday in the main prison in city of Zahedan, in southeastern Iran.
The five inmate that included two women citizens of Pakistan had been arrested on drug related charges.
The Saturday’s hanging of five prisoners in Zahedan was not announced in official media.
Last week, on Thursday, September 17, 2014, at least 17 prisoners were hanged in cities across Iran, including five in public.
The executions were carried out in cities of Shiraz, Marvdasht, Kerman and Bandar Abbas.
A group of four prisoners were hanged in public in Shiraz while another group of eight sent to gallows in Shabab Prison in city of Kerman.
Reacting to the UN Secretary-General’s annual report to the UN General Assembly, which referred to some aspects of the catastrophic situation of human rights in Iran, the Iranian regime’s chief justice, Mohammad Javad Larijani, said last week: “Who is this Mr. Secretary-General to tell us you should stop the executions? Who are they to say so?
The death sentence for Corruption on Earth is an internal matter… Much of the things that were said in the official report of an important international organization; they are cheap, baseless words that lack reasoning.”
The inaction by the international community, particularly the Western countries, regarding violations of human rights in Iran, including over 1,000 executions since Hassan Rouhani assumed office, has emboldened the clerical regime to continue and ramp up torture, execution and suppression.
