Iran: Many families are tonight mourning the brutal and vicious mass execution of their loved ones

Following the mass execution of about two dozen Sunni prisoners in the notorious Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, north-west of Tehran, by the anti-human mullahs' regime, families of these victims are mourning tonight.
The families were informed to go to the prison before 15.00 (local time) Tuesday to visit their loved ones for a last time.
One of the families who were on route to the prison to say farewell for the last time to their young son said they received a call from prison authorities in the middle of the road telling them to go and pick up the body of their loved one from the morgue victim instead of visiting their son.
Another report from the family of a victim said the families were told to visit their loved ones for a final time in the prison before 15.00. But when the family arrived at the prison, they were told to go instead to the coroner's office to collect the body of their loved one who had already been executed.

Then NCRI had already called on International organizations to do their utmost to prevent this heinous mass executions. In a statement issued on August 1st, the NCRI had said
The Iranian Resistance makes a call to save the lives of a large number of Sunni prisoners on death row, requesting urgent intervention by the United Nations Security Council and Member States, and international human rights organizations, especially the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights and Special Rapporteur to prevent the implementation of these criminal and inhumane rulings.
A large number of special Revolutionary Guards forces raided hall 10 of ward 4 in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj (west of Tehran) in the afternoon of Monday, August 1. These repressive forces apprehended dozens of Sunni prisoners as their hands and feet were chained, mouths shut with tape and heads covered with plastic bags. These prisoners were transferred outside of the ward to an undisclosed location.
Hours prior to this transfer the regime’s forces and IRGC members had closed all wards and open-air areas, imposing special conditions in the jail. Gohardasht Prison is under the complete IRGC control.
Appeasement vis-à-vis the criminal rulers of Iran, with the execution of 120,000 political prisoners in their report card, and sending more youths to the gallows with each passing day, is nothing but collaborating and encouraging the continuation of these crimes. All political and economic relations with this regime must be conditioned to the complete halt of all executions in Iran, and this regime’s officials must be placed before justice for their crimes against humanity.

 

16-year-sentence against critically ill human rights defender signals all-out repression

 
Amnesty International – May 19, 2016 - The shocking 16-year prison sentence against prominent human rights defender Narges Mohammadi, who has several serious, chronic illnesses, represents an all-out attack on human rights defenders in Iran, and demonstrates how Iran’s abusive criminal justice system is used as a tool of repression, said Amnesty International.

Narges Mohammadi, a distinguished human rights defender, a supporter of the anti-death penalty campaign Legam (Step by Step to Abolish the Death Penalty) and vice president of the Center for Human Rights Defenders in Iran, was sentenced by a Revolutionary Court in Tehran which convicted her of several trumped-up national security related offenses in connection with her human rights work. The verdict was communicated to her lawyer on 17 May.
“Narges Mohammadi’s sentence is yet another chilling example of Iran’s use of vaguely worded national security charges to crack down on peaceful freedom of expression. There is no doubt that she is being unjustly punished for her steadfast commitment to human rights.

Iran: Zanjani’s wives! visiting him in Evin prison prevented women political prisoners in to see their children

Iranian regime authorities in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran have prevented children from visiting their mothers who are held there as political prisoners. The reason given by the Khamenei point man in this nefarious prison is that Babak Zanjani, a corrupt middleman working with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to circumvent sanctions, has visitors. And who might these visitors be? His 3 wives!

Human rights activists on Wednesday Nov. 25th reported that Zanjani was expecting to meet with his 3 wives in the visiting hall of the Evin Prison, asked not to be disturbed by other visitors coming to visit their loved ones. So the children, who already were granted visit with their political prisoner mothers, were told the visits were canceled. And the children were forced to leave the area while crying and asking for their mothers. Reports continue to say that mothers who were counting days and hours to see their children were told the visits were off and were hauled back to their cells.
After a short while these courageous and brave women protested and condemned the clerical regime for denying their basic and minimum rights of visiting their loved ones.
It should be noted that in the misogynist and perverted mullahs’ interpretation of Islam, bigamy is allowed and practiced routinely and a man can have up to 4 legal and official wives and dozens more still legally but unofficially. 

Suppressive iranian agents again target gathering of families of political prisoners arrest more people

Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran
 On Monday, November 23, agents of regime’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) brutally attacked families of martyrs and political prisoners in Tehran’s Vanak Square arresting some and taking them to undisclosed location. This measure taken to prevent their protest gathering was the second such attack by suppressive forces this week against these families. Just two days ago, the suppressive forces had attacked an assembly of families of martyrs and political prisoner in front ofEvin Prison arresting dozens and transferring them to Evin or Qerchak Prison in Varamin.

Ms. Seamin Ayvaz-zadeh, 56, mother of political prisoner Omid Ali Shenas, who was arrested on November 21 and transferred with a number of other women to Qerchak Prison in Varamin is currently on hunger strike. She suffers of high blood pressure and arrhythmia.
Her son Mr. Omid Ali Shenas, a political prisoner in Ward 8 of Evin that has staged a hunger strike in protest to the MOIS agents attack on the families of prisoners and the arrest of his mother, was battered by head henchman Khazaii, a guard officer in Evin. This prisoner that has been detained for 14 months has been kept in limbo and his trial date has still not been announced.
The Iranian regime has found brutal suppression as the only tool to confront the wave of popular protests and public abhorrence.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the Iranian people, especially the valiant youth, to support and show solidarity with the families of political prisoners, especially those arrested in the recent days, and urges all international human rights agencies to take immediate and effective action to secure the release of all arrestees of the recent days.
