Calling for condemnation of brutal executions and immediate action to save the lives of those sentenced to death
On Thursday, April 11, Ali Khamenei’s henchmen, in a heinous crime, executed a 19-year-old woman who was barely over 16 at the time of her arrest, along with her husband. This young couple, named Marjan Hajizadeh and Esmail Hassaniani, were hanged in Zanjan Central Prison after three years of imprisonment, coinciding with the Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
On Sunday, April 14, a prisoner named Arsalan Hashemi in Hamedan Central Prison, on Saturday, April 13, a prisoner named Abuzar Salem in Isfahan Central Prison, on April 7, Alireza Marzban in Shiraz Central Prison, on April 5, Hassan Ali Mirza Nia in Khorramabad Central Prison, and on March 25, Abbas Aghaei in Tabriz Central Prison were executed by Khamenei’s henchmen.
On the other hand, on Sunday, April 14, five prisoners in Qezelhessar Prison in Karaj were transferred to solitary confinement for the execution of their death sentences.
On Saturday night, April 13, Mehrdad Abdollahzadeh, a 20-year-old from Sardasht who was making a living through the exhausting job of Kolbari in the Beitush border heights, fell from the mountain and died instantly due to the shooting of the criminal officials of the mullahs’ regime.
The Iranian Resistance once again calls on the United Nations, relevant organizations, the European Union, and member countries to strongly condemn these criminal executions and to take immediate action to save the lives of prisoners sentenced to death. It also re-emphasizes the necessity of an international investigation delegation to visit Iranian prisons.
