Just from January 6 to 12, the clerical regime hanged 19 prisoners. It hanged seven prisoners in cities of Urumiyah, Salmas and Mashhad. Ahmad Shafiegh Khani, one of the four prisoners collectively hanged in Urumiyah was only 19 years old at the time of his arrest.
A shocking report that has leaked out of Adelabad Prison in Shiraz by the inmates discloses unceasing clandestine executions in this dreaded torture center. The leaked report states that on January 4, two prisoners, Hamid Tabkhi and Aghil Mohammadi, were secretly executed. Hamid Tabkhi was a minor. And on January 8, three other inmates, Omid Hosseini, 21, Majid Hayati and Bashir Assadi, were secretly executed.
The report partly reads: “Here, they kill men like sheep. This is that foremost dreaded prison of the century. Here, you cannot find any sunshine, light, joy or laughter. This is a graveyard. Everything here has a damp smell of wretchedness and villainy.
