prisoners were hanged in the Rajaishahr prison of Karaj (west of Tehran)
Tuesday morning June 16. “Most of the prisoners were convicted of drug
related charges” said the report which called the prisoners “criminals
and drug traffickers”. None of the prisoners were identified by name. IHR condemns the arbitrary executions in Iran and calls for
international reactions. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of
IHR said: “The number of executions in Iran is unprecedented in the last
20 years. So far in June the Iranian authorities have executed 12
people each day, while the international community continues its
meaningful silence.”
