NCRI logoThe mullahs’ regime continues to execute prisoners out of fear of potential uprisings by the people. On Sunday, October 1, Khamenei’s henchmen hanged five prisoners in Shiraz Central Prison. One of the executed prisoners was named Khodabandeh Farsimdan Qashqaei, who was executed on trumped-up charges of “enmity to God.” On the same day, Samad Moradi was hanged in Ramhormoz prison.
On Saturday, September 30, two prisoners named Sasan Farzipour and Mohammad Baqer Bazgir were executed in Khorramabad Central Prison. On Wednesday, September 27, Khamenei’s henchmen hanged seven prisoners. Abolfazl Bayat, along with two other prisoners named Ali and Bahram, was executed in Ghezel Hesar prison. Saman Askari and a prisoner named Muzaffar were executed in Karaj Central Prison. Ali Najafi was executed in Khorramabad Central Prison and Jafar Qaid in Ahar Prison. Ali Najafi was less than 18 years old when he was arrested.
On September 26, the henchmen hanged a prisoner named Askar Nami in Tabriz Central Prison. On September 25, a Baloch compatriot named Mustafa Khosh Shaneh (Rigi) was hanged in Vakil Abad Prison, Mashhad. And on September 24, another Baloch compatriot named Saeed Brahui Makki was hanged in the same prison.
On September 23, a Baloch compatriot named Rasool Sabki was hanged in Minab Prison for the death of Ali Muridi, a high-ranking police officer. On the same day, Mohammad Wali Jabari was executed in Isfahan Central Prison and Khairullah Jamshidi in Minab Prison. In this manner, the Mullahs’ criminal judiciary sent at least 21 prisoners to the gallows in the first 9 days of the Persian month of Mehr.
The Iranian resistance urges the United Nations, the European Union, and member states to condemn these criminal executions and take immediate action to halt the execution and killing operations. The clerical regime should be expelled from the international community, and its leaders, particularly Ali Khamenei, the regime’s supreme leader, Ebrahim Raisi, the regime’s President, and Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, the head of the Judiciary, should face justice for their crimes against humanity.
