Iran: Three prisoners hanged in public
Thursday, 12 September 2013: The Iranian regime henchmen hanged three prisoners in public in southern city of Dehdasht, the state-run Fars News Agency reported.
 
They were hanged early morning in the main square of the city located in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province.

So far, the number of executions since sham presidential elections in June has reached to at least 150 with a third of the executions taking place after Hassan Rouhani has assumed office.
 
Hassan Rouhani’s government has turned down a request by Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, to visit the country.

Since two years ago that Ahmed Shaheed has been designated as the United Nations Rapporteur for Human Rights in Iran, the ruling mullahs have not allowed him to visit the country and have described his reports as “baseless allegations” and his resources as “terrorists and anti-revolutionaries”.
