Some of the people arrested during antigovernment demonstrations Iran in June and July have been executed, according to reports from inside the jails of the clerical regime.

Gholam-Hossein Mohammadi from Amol (northern Iran), who lived in Akbar-Abad district in the south Tehran suburb of Islamshahr, was executed together with two of his friends for participating in evening uprisings in June and July. The authorities informed their families a few days after they were hanged and warned them not to hold any mourning ceremonies.

On August 23, the state-run daily Khordad reported that a man by the name of Zaman was hanged in Kerman (eastern Iran). On the following day, Etemad, another state-run daily, wrote that the death sentence for a newly wedded 20-year-old woman was endorsed by the Supreme Court. The death sentence for Kobra Rahmanpour has been passed to sentence implementation department for execution.

Esmail Mohammadi, 36, a political prisoner from Boukan in Iranian Kurdistan, who has been in jail since August, has now been sentenced to execution.

A 13-year-old girl was whipped 100 times after she was sentenced by Branch 1158 of the mullahs’ courts.

According to reports from Iran, a number [b]of former prisoners who were released earlier, have been rearrested in recent weeks and are currently under torture in mullahs’ jails.

The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations Secretary General and the UN Human Rights Commission to take immediate measures to stop unbridled executions in Iran and save the lives of political prisoners, particularly those arrested during demonstrations in recent months.

The despotic Iranian regime must be destroyed by one means or another.

Iran is still heating up. It seems to me the liberal media is trying to keep it downplayed, and I find that curious.

[Paulus Invictus]

The religion of peace run by mullahs of peace = death to protestors. Worse yet, they are soon to have nukes. It's time to put them in a safe and quiet place as president Bush implied two years ago. (the new Axis of evil included Iran, if my memory serves).

The liberal/leftist media support the enemies of
capitalism, period.

[livius]

This is horrible. It's particularly impressive that they've already been able to carry out some of these sentences with such secrecy that the outside world didn't even learn of it until well after the fact.

Not that the press really cares about things like this, of course. They're more involved with their quagmire fantasies.

[Jeff Head]

Better for us to handle Iran now, while we are in the region, then to risk the potential of the Mullahs and Ayatollahs gaiing an even stronger position and then having to handle them later.

[rintense]

And where is Amnesty International on this?

*crickets*

[AdvisorB]

I long for the day when mullahs are hanging by the neck
in Qom for as far as the eye can see.

[Constitution Day]

Ping.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Iran has less than a year left to change from within.....

and then.......watch the sparks fly!!

[MACVSOG68]

And where is Amnesty International on this?

they are busy investigating the mistreatment of the GITMO prisoners who have gained an average of 27 pounds!

Do you think revolution will happen from within? Or do you think it will need outside help?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And not a word from the Chief Doofus at the UN.

If you study the 79 revolution in Iran you'd see that ithad lots of help from european countries mainly UK, France and Germany who aided Khomeini with money and residence. They also personally flew him into the country and guaranteed his protection.

BBC regularly videotaped demonstrations in Iran, and immediately interviews Khomeini often airing his calls all across Iran. Asked why they did they said they promote democracy whereever it spawns. Asked why they ignored the mass pro-Secular Democracy demonstrations since 1999 they said it's interferring in Iran's internal affairs. Quite laughable, really.

Point being, Mullahs supporters inside the country are less than 20%, but their international supporters are alot more than you think.

Europeans aren't exactly concerned about the fact that Iranians want a Secular Democracy, They are concerned about cheap oil and security for that region.

Khatami is the lovetoy of the Europeans. Disliked inside of Iran, but the smiling tom allowing EU to do whatever they want.

[rintense]

Exactly my point.

[mabelkitty]

Have you heard this?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Not only that but the US prevented the Shah from executing Khomeni in the first place.

Of course we did allow him to be tortured in Paris by forcing him to watch scantily clad, lascivious French women do what they do best.

I though it particularly amusing when the old goat married a girl 40 yrs or more his junior. He was dead within a few weeks. LoL.

[AmericanInTokyo]

nope

[Steve_Seattle]

Has Kofi Annan deplored this yet? I doubt it.
