The total number of executions in the past 20 days by the religious fascism ruling Iran has reached 46. The number of executions in the first eight days of 2011 is 20. These executions include, 16 prisoners in Zahedan, 8 in Qom, 7 in Kermanshah, 4 in Esfahan, 3 in Tehran, 2 in Saveh and 2 other in Boroojerd. Almost half of the prisoners executed were charged with Moharebeh (waging war against God). During this time period, dozens of barbaric execution sentences were issued to prisoners nationwide.
About the escalating number of executions, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, president elect of the resistance said: “it must be said that regime ruling Iran is incapable of solving crisis within its regime and finds the only solution in more suppression and instilling fear and horror amongst people”.
ISC calls on all human rights organizations to save the lives of innocent people in Iran in an urgent action and prevent escalating executions in Iran.
