Men Hanged In Iran

UN Numbness on Human rights abuses in Iran

The merciless Iranian regime publicly hanged three more men last month on September 27. Following the previous week’s hangings of some political prisoners, this time the victims were students [Hadi Jafartabar, Mirhadi Mirtaghi and Seyyed Shoja Mousazadeh] accused of raping and robbing 12 women. According to Amnesty International, the death toll has now reached 210 people since January 2007, a number which has exceeded last year record which 177 was. There has been indeed a chain of public executions despite the International law’s condemnation urging Iran to stop these human rights violations. Iran death penalty ranges from people who have committed an “outrageous” offence such as rape or murder, to theft. Surely, the whole situation in Iran is extremely appalling. However, the UN Human Rights Council vote to no longer monitor human rights abuses in Iran, is even more disgraceful.
