Iranian authorities have hanged another 30 prisoners at Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad on drug-related charges, says the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
The campaign cites “local knowledgeable sources” saying 12 prisoners were executed on Wednesday June 29 and another 18 were hanged on the following Sunday.
The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran say the executions once again were carried out in secret and en masse, with no prior notification of families and attorneys and no official announcement from the judiciary.
The report indicates that on June 29, the judiciary announced the execution of one convicted murderer but made no reference to the execution of 12 prisoners on drug charges.
On June 15 another 25 prisoners were reportedly executed en masse at Vakilabad Prison without any official announcement
The campaign maintains that hundreds of prisoners have been executed in secret at Vakilabad Prison over the past two years, but Mashhad’s prosecutor general has responded by saying the media has exaggerated the scale of executions at Vakilabad. Mahmoud Zoghi has said that Mashhad has a high rate of drug crime because of its proximity to the Afghanistan border. This, according to the prosecutor, is what drives up the execution rate in the Khorasan Razavi Province compared to other regions of Iran.
Reports of mass executions in Vakilabad Prison have caused grave concern for human rights groups, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made direct reference to them in March in his report on human rights violations in Iran.
Just another day in the jolly ol’ Islamic Republic of Iran.
HUH! Their War on Drugs seems to be working?
"Iran has the highest proportion of heroin addicts in the world and a growing Aids problem."

The left’s drug culture and homosexual culture . . . vs. radical Islam.
“Iran has the highest proportion of heroin addicts in the world and a growing Aids problem.”
Now if these people actually was guilty of selling heroin and drugs like that, good riddance to bad rubbish, I would suport the death penalty for dealers to kids any time
I’ll bet you a beer there’s no repeat offenders.
Too bad we can’t send all our death row inmates over there.
Reminds me of that scene in TAKEN’ when Liam neeson while “shocking” the thug, “you know, we used to outsource this kind of thing, but the current in 3rd world countries wasn’t that dependable..”
Nothing an tyrannical psychotic government like Iran says can be believed. Period.
A drug war that works, get buyers and seller gone.

Yes, but the repeat offender class is really low.
I am suspecting this is a cover to hang some freedom-loving activists?
Yes, it’s suspect alright
Now, do you take comfort in the fact that the dead mosquitos will never bite again? Of course not, unless you're stupid!
Let’s say you are on drugs and you want to make a stupid argument. Well damn you succeeded.

No your bug story is right there on top for stupid. And I am all for ending the war on drugs, at the same time, we must end the maggots that think it is my job to pay and clean up after them. You want to use drugs, fine, you live in the gutter and you will not be allowed to breed and when the waste department finds your body it goes to the city dump with the rest of the garbage. And if I catch you stealing off of me I get the first shot no questions ask.
