Sham execution of Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaee political prisoners, supporters of PMOI

Tehran- Jan. 22, 2011
According to receiving reports, on last Tuesday Jan. 18 political prisoners Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaee have been transferred to solitary cells and then to the gallows but they have stopped the execution in the last minutes.
On that day these two political prisoners have been suddenly transferred from ward 350 to ward 209 of Evin Prison and Evin’s head henchman, Alavi, a torturer and decision maker for executions had put them under most sever pressures to make them have compulsory interviews on TV but they didn’t accept. Then Alavi while disappointed transferred them to solitary cells for execution.
Moments before Azan (call for prayer) on Wednesday morning Jan. 19 they were taken out of the cells to the place of execution.
Everything was set for their hanging but due to unknown reasons at 0600 they stopped the procedure and returned them to ward 350 at 0800.
The goal behind this show is not clear. May be the regime wanted to test the reaction of public opinion inside Iran and at international scene or maybe it wanted to make them have compulsory interviews by putting them under such psychological pressure to then say that their execution is just.
