An informed source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that over the past few months, the Iranian judicial authorities have ordered the hanging of over one hundred individuals inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison. According to this source, most of those executed were sentenced based on drug-related charges and the executions continue. “Last Wednesday 68, people were hung and over the coming weeks the executions with continue,” said the source.
The source stated that the number of individuals on the death row inside Vakil Abad Prison’s Wards 101, 102, 103, and 104 as well as the Quarantine Ward is “in the hundreds.” The Campaign refrains from publishing the reported statistics pending confirmation from other sources. The Campaign asks the Iranian judicial authorities to be accountable regarding news about the weekly group executions of drug-related convicts and to provide exact statistics about events taking place inside Mashad’s Vakil Abad Prison.
Sadegh Larijani recently wrote a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, asking him for directions about what to do with the convicts, the source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.

Wow! 70 executions in past few days.....so pretty soon, Iran will overtake China as the #1 executioner on this planet!

I hope this sad news will wake up the world or international community!

Is that really really hard for IRI not to execute her own people?
