Shadi Sadr once said that

Shadi Sadr once said that the forgotten IRI prisoners, those without advocates in general, get the worst treatment of all.  So, you are basically keeping them alive by keeping their names on the board. 

However, we cannot forget that every 8 hrs, a person is killed by IRI, many for the crime of being a drug-traffiker, See, e.g., 97 Executions in 30 Days–The Iranian Judiciary Steps Up Executions (*).  This by itself is alarming since IRI personnel are heavily invested in suppying illecit drugs to the society or exports.  Which makes one think that the victims either did not pay IRI officials enough hush-money or there is another reason they were executed!

----------

(*) Most of those executed in the month period were suspects of drug trade including 10 in Karaj’s Rajaee Shahr Prison on 19 January, one in Kerman’s Zarand Prison on 18 January, five in Khorramabad on 13 January, seven in Tehran on 12 January, four in Isfahan Prison on 8 January, two in Boroujerd Prison on 7 January, one in Esfarayen on 8 January, 16 in Ahvaz Prison on 5 January, seven in Kermanshah Prison on 3 January, eight in Qom Prison on 1 January, one in Sari Prison on 25 December 2010, and two in Saveh on 4 December 2010.  One suspect was also hung on 20 January in Bojnord Prison.

The best and bravest of Iran

Who have put their life on line for the love of their country and it's people. Reading the heart wrenching  list, they come form a broad cross section of Iranian society. From Trade Union leaders, to teachers studenst, Doctors, engineers, ordinary workers. They are Fars, Kurd, Turk, Balooch. They are shia, sunni, Bahai or athiest. They are rich, poor.....

 This fascistic Islamist regime is completely losing any remaining popular suppoort. It is ruling our land by sheer force of barbaric oppression.

good info, and a reminder not to forget

But, these are the more famous prisoners and many executed daily by claiming to be drug-traffikers may well be political in nature.
