Aug. 25, 2010
A human rights activist said in an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that hundreds of prisoners have been hanged in secret mass executions in Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad without the knowledge of their families or lawyers. According to this activist, there are 2,100 death row prisoners in this prison who are waiting to be executed in speedy, secret, mass executions.
After reports on the mass executions of prisoners in Vakil Abad Prison yesterday, a human rights activist said that in the past few weeks he has talked to the families of those who were executed and has obtained information on these executions in Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad.
According to this human rights activist who asked not to be named for security reasons, in the past few months at least 300 prisoners who were mostly convicted of selling narcotics were executed in Vakil Abad prison and hundreds more are awaiting execution. According to this activist, most of those who were executed or are on death row have been charged in drug related cases and a small number have been sentenced to retribution (for murder).
“In Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad, there are more than 2,100 convicts on death row and most of them are kept in various halls in cellblock 5 in this prison. Mass executions are carried out secretly in groups of 30 to 70 in cellblock 6.1 in this prison”, the activist said.
“These executions are reportedly carried out under the order and with the official announcement of Iran’s Attorney General Mohsen Ejeyi. In light of the pressure by human rights institutions, these executions are being carried out in secret in the prisons of towns (outside of Tehran)”, the source added.
This source also stressed that the prisoners and their families had absolutely no knowledge of the executions from before and said, “Even the prisoners did not know that their sentence was going to be carried out and only a few hours before the executions, they would be transferred from the cell under various excuses and would then be executed shortly after that without the knowledge of their families or lawyers… For example on April 8, 2010, 35 prisoners were secretly executed but official sources only announced the execution of 5 prisoners. In most cases, these mass secret executions are not reported in the official media”.
This human rights activist also said that at least 150 prisoners were secretly executed in the last 6 months of the Persian year of 1388 (from late September 2008 to late March 2010).
“In the last month, the numbers of executions have more than doubled and for example in the past couple of weeks between 60 to 70 people were secretly executed every Wednesday or Thursday”.
“Last Wednesday on August 18, 67 people were executed in cellblock 6.1 in Vakil Abad Prison and three weeks before that 70 others were executed in a mass execution”.
“The number of death row prisoners who are kept only in cellblock 5 in Vakil Abad are as follows:
Hall 101, Cellblock 5 – about 800 people
Hall 102, Cellblock 5 – more than 600 people
Hall 103, Cellblock 5 – more than 100 people
Hall 104, Cellblock 5 - more than 100 people”
He also said that this week and the weeks to come hundreds of prisoners are to be executed.
“These mass executions will be carried out regularly every Wednesday in the month of Ramadan in cellblock 6.1 which is run by the Intelligence Unit of the Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad”, this activist said. (International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran)
