    Iran regime executes man despite appeal by rights group

    NCRI - Iran's fundamentalist regime on Saturday executed student Rashid Kouhi despite an appeal by Amnesty International for the sentence to be halted.

    Mr. Kouhi, 36, was executed earlier in the day on Saturday in Rasht’s Lakan Prison in Gilan Province, northern Iran, sources said.

    Family members of Rashid Kouhi received a call from prison authorities on Thursday informing them that they should go to Lakan Prison to have a final meeting with him on Friday before his execution the following day.

    Rashid Kouhi was arrested at a checkpoint in Roudbar, Gilan province on August 24, 2011.

    "The officers who stopped him conducted a search of his bag where they found 800 grams of crystal meth. He was a student at the time. He was tried and sentenced to death following a grossly unfair trial by a Revolutionary Court in Roudbar in February 2012," according to Amnesty International.

    "The court’s verdict, which has been reviewed by Amnesty International, is less than a page long and does not contain adequate reasoning. He did not have access to a lawyer during questioning and met a state appointed lawyer for the first time during his trial. He was held in Roudbar for two years before being taken to Lakan Prison in Rasht."

    Rashid Kouhi was denied the right to appeal his death sentence.

    “It is appalling that Rashid Kouhi has been denied the right to an appeal which is a fundamental element of the right to a fair trial. The Iranian authorities must urgently halt his execution and give him a chance to appeal his death sentence in a fair trial without recourse to the death penalty. Failing to do so will be an irreversible injustice,” said Said Boumedouha.

    8 prisoners executed in Iran while Italy’s PM is in Tehran

    NCRI - Iran's fundamentalist regime on Wednesday mass executed eight people in the notorious Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, north-west of Tehran, while Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was in Tehran reestablishing trade ties.

    The names of six of the executed prisoners were given as: Ebad Mohammadi, Javad Sadeqi, Mohammad-Javad Mozzafari, Mostafa Ejlali, Hamzeh Dowlatabadi, and Mehdi Haq-Shenas.

    The European Union on Monday extended sanctions against 82 officials of the Iranian regime until 2017 over "serious human rights violations" in the country.

    The 28-nation bloc has frozen assets and placed travel bans against the Iranian officials since 2011 because of the human rights violations in Iran. It has renewed the sanctions every year since.

    There have been more than 2,300 executions during Hassan Rouhani’s tenure as President. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran in March announced that the number of executions in Iran in 2015 was greater than any year in the last 25 years. Rouhani has explicitly endorsed the executions as examples of “God’s commandments” and “laws of the parliament that belong to the people.”

    32 people have been hanged since the 11th

    NCRI - Iran's fundamentalist regime has hanged four prisoners in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan, central Iran, and another four in Orumieh, north-west Iran.

    In Isfahan, three of the prisoners were identified as Mojtaba Kazemi, Hamid Shahsavand and Hamid Mahdavi. The fourth prisoner was not named. They were hanged on Sunday, April 17.

    Separately, on Tuesday the mullahs' regime hanged four prisoners in Orumieh (Urmia) Prison.

    They were identified as Alireza Sarebani, Ahmad Nami, Manouchehr Razani and Abdolhamid Moradi. They were accused of drugs-related charges.

    The hangings bring to at least 32 the number of people executed in Iran since the start of last week, while European officials have been paying visits to Tehran. Three of those executed were women.

    According to reports from inside Iran, the mullahs' regime on Thursday hanged five men and two women in a prison in Birjand, north-east Iran.

    Iran's fundamentalist regime on Saturday hanged three prisoners in a jail in Rasht, northern Iran, as the European Union's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini was in Tehran to build greater trade ties between the EU and the regime.

    The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said in a statement on Wednesday that the increasing trend of executions “aimed at intensifying the climate of terror to rein in expanding protests by various strata of the society, especially at a time of visits by high-ranking European officials, demonstrates that the claim of moderation is nothing but an illusion for this medieval regime.”

    Ms. Mogherini, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was in Tehran on Saturday along with seven EU commissioners for discussions with the regime’s officials on trade and other areas of cooperation.

    Her trip was strongly criticized by Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the NCRI who said: “This trip which takes place in the midst of mass executions, brutal human rights violations and the regime's unbridled warmongering in the region tramples on the values upon which the EU has been founded and which Ms. Mogherini should be defending and propagating.”
