13 Political Prisoners executed in Zahedan!!












The clerical regime executed 13 political prisoners in Zahedan, provincial capital of Sistan and Baluchestan in southeast Iran, at dawn on Tuesday. They were accused of “Waging war on God,” and “Spreading corruption on earth.”

The aim of the mass execution by the regime is to create fear in order to prevent the spread of popular uprising in the province. The victims had spent months in critical condition under torture and were deprived of the right to legal counsel or a fair trial. The clerical regime is extremely fearful of the deprived people in this province and their rage against it over repression, discrimination and poverty.

IRNA, the mullahs’ official news agency, reported on Monday that the victims were to be hanged in public and the regime invited people to attend the event, but, in fear of general outrage, the regime was compelled to carry out the executions inside the prison in Zahedan.

Inaction and delay by the international community in the face of the regime’s crimes and its continued appeasement by the West has only emboldened the regime in its crimes and executions.

The clerical regime’s record in the past month includes at least 50 executions, and it has killed more than 300 people in peaceful anti-government demonstrations, and injured and arrested thousands of others, and it has tortured many detainees in some cases to death.

  1. Just before the fall of the Third Reich, there was a frenzy of killing in the death camps. trying to get rid of the evidence, and reburying those already dead or incinerating them.
