One of the prisoners was 17 when he committed the alleged "crime"
Seven prisoners sentenced to death in Gohar Dasht (Rajaieh Shahr) Prison in Karaj, have been transferred to solitary confinement. These victims are faced with an imminent death threat. Mehdi Bohlouli, who is now on the verge of execution after serving 15 years of imprisonment, was only 17 when arrested and this is the fourth time he has been transferred to solitary confinement for implementation of the death sentence.
Taking
prisoners to the gallows to witness the shocking scene of the execution
of other prisoners is a common practice of torture in the prisons of
Iranian regime.
Transferring
the young prisoner, Mehdi Bohlouli for execution is taking place while
the execution of Alireza Tajiki, a young prisoner who was 15 years old
at the time of his arrest, sparked a wave of hatred inside and outside
of Iran, and international human rights organizations called it shameful
and shocking. Alireza Tajiki was hanged on August 10 after serving six
years in prison under torture for compulsory confessions, and while his
family's repeated requests for a retrial was ignored.
The
execution and torture machine of the regime, which is a world record
holder, on the number of executions per capita and one of the few
juvenile executioners, has accelerated after the sham presidential
election. Only in July 2017 there has been a rare record of 101 recorded
hangings. The actual number of executions is likely to be higher, since
it does not include the number of secret executions.
The
Iranian resistance calls for urgent intervention and action of the
international bodies and human rights organizations to stop the death
sentences of these seven victims and the abolition of their death
sentences, as well as the protest and condemnation of governments to the
new wave of executions in Iran.
