On July 1, in the third week of the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising, the mullahs’ inhuman regime hanged Mr. Nasser Kheyrollahi, a political prisoner, in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison in a hideous act to spread fear.
Mr. Kheyrollahi, 49, was arrested in 2003, and was physically and psychologically tortured during his six years of incarceration in various prisons in Esfahan, Evin and Gohardasht Prison. He was previously sentenced to 18 years imprisonment; however, earlier this year he was re-sentenced to death.
He was transferred on June 30 from Ward 4 of Gohardasht Prison to Evin, and the next day he was hanged alongside five other prisoners. The Iranian Resistance has repeatedly announced that the religious fascism ruling Iran executes political prisoners under the guise of ordinary criminals.
According to eye-witness accounts, Mr. Kheyrollahi had high morale even in his last moments and chanted “Death to Khamenei”.
The mullahs’ henchmen had a deep hatred for Mr. Kheyrollahi who had lost relatives in the Iran-Iraq war and upon learning of the mullahs’ crimes had refrained from cooperating with them and instead exposed their true nature. They used all sorts of torture techniques in order to break his resistance. However, he refused to cooperate with them, and he took part in various protests and hunger strikes alongside other political prisoners.
