NCRI - Iran's fundamentalist regime on Sunday hanged a man in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas after serving 15 years of a prison term.
Mohsen Tayma was hanged in the courtyard of Bandar Abbas Prison. He was accused of murder.
The regime on Saturday hanged three other prisoners in the central prison of Rasht, northern Iran, on the World Day Against the Death Penalty.
On the occasion of the World Day Against the Death Penalty on Saturday [October 10, 2015], an international gathering was held in Paris to highlight the surge of executions in Iran and need for urgent action.
The mullahs' regime in Iran continues to execute more of its citizens per capita than any other U.N. member state. Some 2000 people have been executed during Hassan Rouhani’s presidency in the past two years.
A statement by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein on August 5 said: "Iran has reportedly executed more than 600 individuals so far this year. Last year, at least 753 people were executed in the country."
Amnesty International said on September 7 that “the Iranian authorities must end their unprecedented killing spree – more than 700 people have been executed so far this year."
