Arrested Iran Prisoners To Face Death Sentence [Mass Public Executions Friday]

Iranian Students for Democracy ^ | June 26, 2003 SGT | staff report

[ewing]

Hundereds of those arrested in the last [Iranian] riots will be brought to speedy trials in order for the public to witness the decision of Islamic 'justice' on their cases.

Sources within the regieme are confirming the decision made in an extradordinary meeting of the National Security Council to issue and execute death penalties against many of them for 'Spying for the United States,' 'Attempts Against National Security' and 'Armed Action Intending to Overthrow the Islamic State.'

The move intends to go on by a series of public executions and to spread information on the cases of other protestors who are executed within the regieme's penitenciaries.

The Islamic Regieme hopes to increase its policy of Fear and Terror at the approach of the July 9th Student Uprising and National Labor Strike and by this way avoid mass participation in the rallies on that day.

Tens of those arrested have been placed under duress and torture in order to sign confessions on their links to the 'US Secret Services.'

These prisoners are under the special guard of the officers of the Intelligence Directorcrat of Pasdaran which is responding directly to the offices of the regieme's Supreme Leader.

Looks like executions of approximately 100 innocent freedom loving people tomorrow..prayers up!

[Frank_Discussion]

OK, is there ANYTHING we can do about this, some legal standing upon which the US can act? Human-Rights abuse? Something?

If they do this, I hope all hell rains on them from those already resisting.

[Sacajaweau]

Anything we can do??

Tell the UN to wake up!!!!

[MEG33]

No.I was fearful this would happen.

[Frank_Discussion]

No, I think I'd rather tell them something else...

[ewing]

Geneva Convention?

[twigs]

My guess is that they want this over before July 9. That apparently is the date four years ago of the last uprising and the government has been concerned that people will turn out en masse to celebrate it.

[Frank_Discussion]

Me too, but I was also hoping the protestors could head it off by taking over. Not realistic, I know, but hope rarely is realistic.

[Bringbackthedraft]

The mentality of the 8th century being brought to the front page. That should do it! They are declaring war against the population, expect the bloody revolution to begin. The isolated assassinations of mullahs will soon make news.

[FreeTheHostages]

Yes, prayers.

[Frank_Discussion]

Applies only during "wartime" IIRC - could we claim a war is taking place there? A Civil War?

[ewing]

The regieme is probably done and finsihed if the Labor Strike on July 9 goes through, the Mullahs know this and it looks like they are pulling a Tianemen Square maneuver here.

[rrrod]

maybe its time for us to step in

[ken5050]

THis could, just could, be the "tipping point" that causes Iran to break out into full civil war....now, suppose the secularists..the majority of Iranians who like the US..announce a provisional government and appeal to the US to intervene and help stop them from being slaughtered, well, by George...w'eve got a few brigades, and lots of air support, nearby..

[Coop]

You've got that right. Prayers going out for freedom and justice in Iran.

[thoughtomator]

If they go through with it, I am certain this will trigger civil war, with the mullahs vastly outnumbered.

[Frank_Discussion]

"Tianemen Square"

We didn't step in then, and I've always thought we made a mistake. I think we held back only because China had a pretty big stick. Iran might have the bomb already, but I think we need to risk it, IMO.

[ewing]

The Mullahs are signing their own death warrants here, this will end up like the Eastern European leader and his wife hanging from a lampost in their own capital city..

[MEG33]

Hope is all they have right now.I pray their hope is realized.

Your link doesn't work, and the reason for excerpting this important story at all completely escapes me.
