IRAN: ROUHANI BACKS ONGOING EXECUTIONS AND HARSH PUNISHMENTS

The UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran has indicated that in 2015 alone, the regime carried out executions of at least 966 people. Groups like the NCRI have been keeping track of hangings so far this year and have seen similar trends. The NCRI indicates that at least 55 people were executed in the month of April alone, and that another 10 were hanged in just the first three days of May.

Most of the victims of this capital punishment are reportedly non-violent drug offenders. Meanwhile, some individuals are condemned to death in Iran for offenses that would not be recognized as crimes in other modern nations. Many of these are vaguely defined under terms like “enmity against God,” which clearly reflect the government’s ongoing commitment to its theocratic identity.

Iran- Female political prisoner deprived of medical attention

Iran- Another Political prisoner goes on hunger strike

Political prisoner, Hossein Ronaghi

 Blogger Hossein Ronaghi was arrested in December 2009 by IRGC intelligence on charges of “insulting the Supreme Leader, Khamenei” and “insulting the President Rouhani”. He was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.

Ronaghi is afflicted to several physical deficiencies such as respiratory, heart problem, kidney disorder, stomach bleeding and . . . , but the prison authorities neither provide him with medical services, nor allow him to go to hospital on his own expenses. Further he is kept among ordinary and criminal prisoners.

Ronaghi started a hunger strike on Saturday March 26^th to protest Khamenei’s agents depriving him of medical attention. Ahmad Ronaghi, Hossen’s father, has announced that he would also go on hunger strike if his son’s demand for medical attention is not met.

Mullahs in Tehran: untamable and far from today’s global community

The West’s appeasement policies and constantly turning their backs and neglecting Iran’s never-ending crimes, meddling and warmongering in the Middle East during the past few years have failed to tame the mullahs in Tehran and alter its destructive nature. This major regional dilemma continues to threaten the international community.

This regime, thriving on two central tenets, continuously oppresses individual and social freedoms inside Iran. This is seen clearly in the 2,300+ executions under the tenure of the “moderate” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, people deprived of their freedoms and God-given rights, growing poverty and skyrocketing unemployment.

Cancel Rouhani’s trip to Austria,

“Any relations with this regime should be preconditioned to the annulment of the death penalty in Iran and this regime’s interference in the region”.

National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has called on the Austrian government to cancel the upcoming trip by Iranian president Hassan Rouhani.

NCRI said in a statement.

“At a time when western countries have been silent regarding the barbaric violation of human rights and crimes of the Iranian regime in Syria, Iraq and other regional countries, welcoming Rouhani and other leaders of this regime will encourage them in the violation of human rights in Iran, as well as in the export of terrorism, fundamentalism and warmongering in the region and the world”.

United Nations Human Rights Council lashes out Iran’s human rights abuse.

A resolution presented by 39 UN members to extend “the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights” in Iran for “a further period of one year” was ratified by UN human Rights Council on Wednesday March 20.  Mr. Ahmad Shaheed resides at his position as the Special Rapporteur on Iran for the 6^th consecutive period.
