About the convictions

“Khalil Bahramian, Kamangar’s lawyer, said: ‘Nothing in Kamangar’s judicial files and records demonstrates any links to the charges brought against him.’

Bahramian, who was present during the closed-door court hearing, described it as ‘lasting no more than five minutes, with the Judge issuing his sentence without any explanation and then promptly leaving the room’. He added, I have seen absolutely zero evidence presented against Kamangar. In my forty years of legal profession, I have never witnessed such a prosecution.’”

2. “Khalil Bahramian, Kamangar’s attorney, in an interview before knowing about the execution said: ‘Mr. Kamangar and his interrogator told me that there are changes in the case and under review by the prosecutor and execution is out of the question. I inquired more than ten times and they told me the case is under review. But the intelligence officer had told Farzad that execution had been revoked.’ Later being notified of the execution after the fact, Bahramian said in an interview: ‘The rules call for notification of the lawyers on carrying out the death penalty. In case of two of my clients, Farzad Kamangar and Mehdi Eslamian, I was not notified at all.’”

3. “Mehdi Islamian’s brother was executed last year, convicted of cooperation with the Monarchist Group. Mehdi was convicted of giving financial aid to his brother before his arrest.”

Capital Punishment, Capital Fear

It talks about the 5 people executed and has picture of Kamangar  with his class of children in a Kurdish village, he was also a poet and author. 

Fereshteh Ghazi updates on alleged regime harassment of the family of Shirin Alamhouli, executed on Sunday . Alamhouli’s sister and mother are reportedly out on bail, but Ghazi says her grandfather, uncle, and cousin have now been arrested and are held in the Ministry of Intelligence. The family’s phone has been disconnected since yesterday., the house is surrounded, and a curfew is in place.

Nazila Fathi of The New York Times follows up this morning on her reporting of Sunday’s executions of five Iranians.

The centrepiece is an interview with Khalil Bahramian, lawyer for the three of the five slain prisoners. Bahramian said that authorities are refusing to release the bodies and asserted, in line with reports from the family, that the sister and mother of the executed Shirin Alamhouli, were arrested at their home in northwestern Iran. (They were later reportedly released on bail.) He also said the family was not aware of the execution until Monday afternoon.

Bahramian noted, “They [the authorities] even turned down my request to allow the families to be present while they are burying them [the executed].”

Fathi also draws from Rah-e-Sabz to report that Abdoljabar Karami, member of Parliament for Sanandaj, the capital of Iranian Kurdistan, was threatened by the provincial governor when he tried to stop the executions and was unable to secure the release of the bodies.

Human Rights Activists News Agency claims that authorities are trying to arrest members of the family of Farzad Kamangar.

Seed of the hatered

The seeds of the hatered IRI is growing by punishing the so called Ethinc minorities will come back and hunt the nation post IRI.  The whole thing does not look good. IF it does not end in civil war it will end up as an ethnic balkanization and evantual sesession from Iran specialy in a democratic secular federated republic as some people envision.

I feel sorry for any person, group or regime who will take over after IRI is gone.  Theywill have their hands full with crisis.

....

Hi! Maziar,

  Thank you for your correction.....I recall IRI likes to say the perpetrators "confessed" already......IRI forces people to confess...and then execute them after they confess.....

correction

ms. yolanda in Iran they STRANGLE the poor souls with FABRICATED accusations in a jiffy...

In other civilized country with due proccess that some time takes as long as 15-20 yrs. they will excute the CRIMINALS with their choice in the type of EXECUTION.   Maziar

....

Hi! vildemose,

    It seems to me that there are a lot of hanging videos from Iran on you-tube....it is sad......I am not saying other countries don't execute people......they do, but they don't do it in public that often...they don't let by-standers film the hanging process.......IRI executes people in public in order to put fear in its people......and then they turn around to complain the hanging videos are old; not current, the date is wrong...IRI's image is tarnished...blah, blah, blah.....if IRI really wants to show the world they are compassionate and merciful.....they should release the political prisoners....it is not necessary to correct the date of their hanging videos! They just need to have some real actions!

please take care!

dear Yolanda: The IRI

dear Yolanda: The IRI lackeys would love for Iranian to forget and become desensitized to their brutality. It's up to us not to let them. Thank you for reading and following the link.

Hi! vildemose,

  Thank you for the video link......CNN said one of the victims was only 16 years old! I know the execution took place close to 1 year ago.....but it is still sad and hard to watch.....hopefully that we don't look the other way and remember their pain and suffering.

......

Very sad to hear the bad news! I did not know one of them is a lady until now......she did not have hejab on......so I was not 100% sure! Thank you for bringing attention to the atrocities in Iran.

thanks,

Hossein Khezri, a 28-year-old man, and Zeynab Jalalian, a 27-year-old woman, both members of Iran’s Kurdish minority, are feared to be at imminent risk of execution. Both were convicted of “enmity against God”, in separate cases, for membership of the Party for Free Life of Kurdistan

It's mind boggling that a

It's mind boggling that a defender of terrorist/criminal regime and radical Islam thinks he  has any credibility or dignity whatsoever. I don't understand their logic. Who are they trying to convince here that their muderous regime is legitimate.

if it was a unintentional

if it was a unintentional error , then he should of said that "this cant be confirmed" or something of the sort , not throw out a burst of emotion to something that has no basis logic or reason behind it. I said that video happened 2 years ago and was the execution of drug smugglers in kermanshah. I doubt this was an error in either way because this video has been peddled around lately , to try to add to the passion to the execution of the seperatist terrorists known as the PJAK and the PKK in turkey .

Where were the videos of worshippers being blown up in mosque by these PJAK who you now cry crocodile tears for? or are those in the mosques sub-human who are not iranians but some arab taazis from the desert? why arent those videos shown? its because this is the very definition of opportunism , you only show or support something that furthers YOUR OWN GOALS .You people dont give a damn about human rights and justice , you only care about furthering your own agendas.

5 PJAK seperatist terrorists who are hated by most of the world were executed , 5 less seperatists , its good for iran and the turks . This is considered high treason. They got what they deserved. 

and that as they say , is that. 

.

because you lied vildemose

because you lied vildemose , you even admited it . Is this the opposition made up of liars and opportunists? the video you posted was drug smugglers being hanged 2 years ago. As usual you instead of saying "I didnt know it was 2 years ago , my mistake" you resort to insulting me.

Your threats on my life are very amusing and childish , it only further shows how much of low lifes you people are.

Do you actually believe that I work for the IRGC and they sent me to this website to monitor everyone? come on man...

  So what? The

So what?

The terrorist are those in leadership of Iran who have perpetrating domestic terrorism for over 30 years on Iranian. You and your ilk will get your comeuppance sooner than later. That is for certain.

Now, go collect your paycheck from your paymasters.

vildemose

that video is 2 years old and its drug smugglers being executed , nice try though , next time actually try to look into what your trying to peddle.

I dont expect much intelligence thought , so dont worry.

trully sad any day

Its a terrible injustice, completely tradgic and for it  to have happened any day of the year but on 'Mothers day' :( even worse. How much more can ppl take ? The IRI seem to be laughing in the face of all the international protest of their appalling HR's record ... well no wonder really when the UN invite  AhmadJ on the committee for womens rights. 

One Day...

There won't be any need to kill the children of Iran in order to rule it.... one day!

Horrific and sad

Two weeks ago, the Human Rights Activists News Agency published a parable written by Kamangar in prison. His explanation: “Eight years ago, the grandmother of one of my students, Yassin, in the village of Marab, played the tape of the story of the teacher Mamoosta Ghootabkhaneh. She told me then, ‘I know that your fate, like the teacher who is the writer and recorder of this poem, is execution; but be strong comrade.’ The grandmother said those words as she puffed on her cigarette and stared at the mountains.”
