During the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people against the detested rule
of Velayat-e faqih, the regime's judiciary executed 5 young prisoners from
January 15 to 17.
On January 17, a brutal sentence to amputate a young man's
hand for stealing several sheeps was carried out in Mashhad Prison.
2 prisoners of 30 and 33 years old were hanged on January 17, 2018 in the Karaj
Central Prison.
The day before, 2 other young people who 19 and 20 at the time
of their arrest were executed in Mashhad.
On Monday, January 15, a 27-year-old
prisoner was hanged in Babol prison.
Meanwhile, Abolfazl Chezani, who was arrested at age 15, is now on the verge of
execution in Qom prison after serving 4 years of imprisonment.
The purpose of these executions is to exacerbate the atmosphere of intimidation
of young people who have suffered from oppression, poverty and unemployment,
and who in recent weeks have shaken the pillars of the clerical regime with
their uprising.
The response of the people, especially the youth of Iran, to
this brutality is the continuation of the uprising until the overthrow of the
corrupt and oppressive clerical regime.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all the international human rights
organizations and bodies to take urgent and effective measure to combat
arbitrary executions and brutal sentences.
