Execution of another 6 more political prisoners endorsed
Following the vicious act of hanging of 5 political prisoners on May9, four of them Kurds, an act that was the subject of wrath and protest of all Iranians especially residents of Kurdistan, today Fars news agency affiliated with IRGC announced that the clerical regime intends to hang 6 more political prisoners all supporters of PMOI.
It is more than clear that these criminal and savage acts at the wake of anniversary of the uprising of people of Iran rise from the weakness of this regime which tries to prevent the uprising of people at this anniversary by provoking an atmosphere of fear and terror.
Students Committee in Iran condemns this anti-human and impudent act. We demand all human right organization around the world to act immediately to stop this criminal act.
The lives of these innocent political prisoners can be saved for sure by international pressures and inspection of international bodies from Iran.
Fars News Agency: “Tehran- 15.5.2010- Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, Tehran’s prosecutor announced on Saturday May 15 the decree of execution has been approved for 6 opposition activists who have been arrested after the last presidential election”.

Also the decree of execution for three others Mohammadali Sarami, Jafar Kazemi and Mohammadali Hajaghaee who have been arrested last December has been approved too”.
The news has also been posted by AFP:
TEHRAN, May 15, 2010 (AFP) - The death sentence for six OPPOSITION activists arrested in protests after last year's disputed presidential election in Iran have been confirmed, Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said Saturday.
The six were accused of belonging to the exiled and outlawed People's Mujahedeen, the OPPOSITION group the Islamic republic's regime calls "the hypocrites."
Three were arrested after OPPOSITION protests during the Shiite mourning holiday of Ashura last December, Dolatabadi said, naming them as "Ahmad Daneshpour Moghadam, Mohsen Daneshpour Moghadam and Alireza Ghanbari."
"Their death sentences have been confirmed, but they have asked to be pardoned," the Fars news agency quoted Dolatabadi as saying.
It quoted the prosecutor as saying the death penalty for the other three, Mohammad Ali Saremi, Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad-Ali Haj-Aghai who were arrested in September last year, had also been confirmed.
Dolatabadi had announced in January that 10 people arrested during OPPOSITION protests that followed the re-election last June of President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad had been sentenced to hang.
On January 28, Iran hanged two men convicted of being Mohareb (enemies of God), in the first executions of dissidents since the post-poll protests erupted.
They "belonged to the monarchist group Tondar (the Kingdom Assembly of Iran). During their trials they confessed to obtaining explosives and planning to assassinate officials," Dolatabadi said at the time.
The authorities arrested an estimated 4,000 people including journalists and reformist politicians in a massive crackdown in the weeks after the election.
Stiff jail terms have been handed down to several people convicted of taking part in the unrest, although some have been released on bail pending possible appeals.
On Saturday the lawyer for French researcher Clotilde Reiss, who was arrested last July for allegedly participating in demonstrations, will be allowed to leave the country soon, after a large fine was paid.
Last Sunday Iran also hanged five militants, including a Kurdish woman, convicted of bombing government offices and a gas pipeline to Turkey and described as being Mohareb, state media reported.
