The holy month of Ramadan did not stop the regime in Iran from executing or severely punishing people, the U.S. news website Breitbart wrote on Friday.
“Amnesty International’s latest report on Iran states the regime executed 694 people between January 1 and July 15. This means the country averages at least three executions a day”, it wrote.
“Iran’s staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of the state carrying out premeditated, judicially-sanctioned killings on a mass scale,” explained Said Boumedouha, Deputy Director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Programme. “If Iran’s authorities maintain this horrifying execution rate we are likely to see more than 1,000 state-sanctioned deaths by the year’s end.”
Amnesty says the death sentences “are invariably imposed by courts that are completely lacking in independence and impartiality.”
The regime in Iran hanged eleven prisoners a day before Amnesty released their report, Breitbart said. “Ten prisoners lost their lives at the Gohardasht Prison of Karaj, while another died at the Esfaham prison. The regime executed 65 people in one week during April.”
“From the National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI):
In the past week (from April 12 to 18), henchmen hanged at least 65 prisoners. Forty-five of these have been executed just in Karaj City prisons. On April 13, eight prisoners were hanged in Karaj’s Central Prison while 13 other prisoners were executed in Ghezel Hessar Prison. On the next day, 19 prisoners were hanged in Gohardasht Prison. And on April 15, henchmen hanged five prisoners in Gohardasht. Among those executed was Javad Saberi, a juvenile at the time of his arrest.”

“The holy month of Ramadan did not stop Iran from executing or severely punishing people. At least ten people lost their lives during the month. NCRI reported the regime flogged 900 people for not fasting during Ramadan. That number includes young children and women. Another 3,000 received warnings,” Breitbart added.
“The regime added more torture practices on political prisoners, because fasting keeps them extremely weak. ‘Prisoners are constantly experiencing symptoms of dryness of mucus, muscle pains, severe headaches, blurry vision, vomiting and numbness,’ they state.”
