Man hanged in public in south-east Iran town

Tehran, Iran, Dec. 30 – A man was hanged in public in the south-eastern town of Saravan, a semi-official daily reported on Saturday.
The man, identified only by his first name Amanollah, was accused of armed robbery, the hard-line Jomhouri Islami wrote.
Amanollah was hanged in public on Thursday.
He was sentenced to death by a court in the nearby city of Zahedan, the provincial capital of Sistan-va-Baluchistan Province.
On Monday, Iranian authorities executed two men identified as Youssef H. and Pordel B. in Zahedan.
Sistan-va-Baluchistan has been a hotbed of anti-government activities since 2005.
In recent months, Iranian authorities have stepped up executions in the restive province in what many Baluchis believe is a response to a spate of attacks by dissidents on government and security officials. |
The Free World Silence regarding Islamic Fascists Practice of Death By Hanging in Public is crime against humanity.
Shame on those who appease Islamic Fascists Mullahs in Iran for Blood Oil.

Saddam execution video draws criticism
By ANITA CHANG, Associated Press Writer
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070103/ap_on_re_mi_ea/world_saddam_execution&printer=1
Grainy cell phone video of Saddam Hussein's execution triggered international criticism Tuesday, with Britain's deputy prime minister calling the leaked images "unacceptable" and the Vatican decrying the footage as a "spectacle" violating human rights.
Meanwhile, the Italian government pushed for a U.N. moratorium on the death penalty, Cuba called the execution "an illegal act," and Sunnis in Iraq took to the streets in mainly peaceful demonstrations across the country.
The unofficial video showed a scene that stopped just short of pandemonium, during which one person is heard shouting "To hell!" at the deposed president and Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners. The inflammatory footage also showed Saddam plummeting through the gallows trapdoor and dangling in death.
The grainy video appeared on the Internet and Al-Jazeera television late Saturday. On Tuesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an investigation into the execution to try to uncover who taunted the former dictator, and who leaked the cell phone footage.
At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon ran into trouble on his first day of work when he failed to state the U.N.'s official stance opposing capital punishment and said it should be a decision of individual countries.
"Saddam Hussein was responsible for committing heinous crimes and unspeakable atrocities against Iraqi people and we should never forget victims of his crime," Ban said in response to a reporter's question about Saddam's execution Saturday for crimes against humanity. "The issue of capital punishment is for each and every member state to decide."
His ambiguous answer put a question mark over the U.N.'s stance on the death penalty, although Ban's spokeswoman said there was no change in policy.
British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott said those who leaked the footage should be condemned.
"I think the manner was quite deplorable really. I don't think one can endorse in any way that, whatever your views about capital punishment," Prescott said in an interview with British Broadcasting Corp. radio.
"Frankly, to get the kind of recorded messages coming out is totally unacceptable and I think whoever is involved and responsible for it should be ashamed of themselves."
The Holy See's daily, L'Osservatore Romano, lamented that "making a spectacle" of the execution had turned capital punishment into "an expression of political hubris."
The execution "represented, for the ways in which it happened and for the media attention it received, another example of the violation of the most basic rights of man," L'Osservatore wrote.
The office of Italian Premier Romano Prodi said Italy would seek the support of other countries that oppose capital punishment to put the issue of a moratorium to the U.N. General Assembly. Italy and all other European Union countries ban capital punishment.
Italy, which is one of the rotating members of the U.N. Security Council, has lobbied unsuccessfully for U.N. action against the death penalty.
On Monday, a crowd of Sunni mourners in Samarra marched to a bomb-damaged Shiite shrine, the Golden Dome, and were allowed by guards and police to enter the holy place carrying a mock coffin and photos of the former dictator.
The shrine was bombed by Sunni extremists 10 months ago, an attack that triggered the current cycle of retaliatory attacks between Sunnis and Shiites.
Communist Cuba, which allows capital punishment, called Saddam's execution "an illegal act in a country that has been driven toward an internal conflict in which millions of citizens have been exiled or lost their lives."
The Foreign Ministry statement Monday said the island nation "has a moral duty to express its point of view about the assassination committed by the occupying power."
The U.S. military had held Saddam since capturing him in December 2003 but turned him over to the Iraqi government for his execution. |

Two women condemned to death by stoning

After speaking to the director of the human rights organization of Kurdistan , 2 woman named Malak Ghorbani and Mohabbat Mahmmoudi have pled to have their case brought to the attention of international human rights organizations.
Malak Ghorbani, 34 was condemned Saturday, December 23rd in the criminal court of the city of Orumiyeh . 40-year-old Mohabbat Mahmoudi and 30-year-old Halaleh Mohammadzadeh have also been accused of murder and sentenced to death by stoning.
At least 300 people sit in the Islamic regime’s dungeons waiting to be executedhttp://www.iranpressnews.com/source/019048.htm
At least 300 people are presently sitting in the Islamic regime’s dungeons waiting to be executed. Alladin Boroujerdi, the chairman of the security council of the Islamic parliament during a speech in the city of Ghom said: "In our recent visit to some prisons, we became aware of at least 300 people who were waiting to be executed; two years after the issuance of the verdict some of these individuals have not yet been executed. These people were arrested and detained in connection with drug trafficking and sentenced to death."
The chairman of the security council of the Islamic parliament called for the swift execution of these individuals and said: "Those involved in drug smuggling must be dealt with as severely as possibl."
This is while according to many experts in Iran, authorities of the Islamic regime themselves are in charge of widespread drug smuggling in and out of the country, since the existence of a high volume of various kinds of drugs, as well as buying and selling in Iran is quite impossible without the cooperation of the regime’s forces and trafficking networks. |

Officials: Bush upset by Hussein hanging video
Story Highlights•White House: Bush compared reaction to that of seeing Abu Ghraib photos
•Executioners taunted Hussein in cell-phone video
•Abu Ghraib led to disciplinary action against U.S. troops
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/10/bush.hussein/index.html
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush was upset after watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution, comparing it to how he felt after seeing the photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, White House officials said Wednesday.
Dark, grainy video -- apparently recorded on a cell phone -- of Hussein's December 30 hanging was leaked to the media soon after the execution.
In the video, taunts from Shiites can be heard moments before Hussein, a Sunni, is hanged.
After Hussein offers prayers, the guards shout praise for Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric whose father is believed to have been murdered by Hussein's regime.
They chant, "Muqtada! Muqtada! Muqtada!"
Hussein smiles. "Is this how you show your bravery as men?" he asks.
"Straight to hell," someone shouts back at him.
"Is this the bravery of Arabs?" Hussein asks.
A sole voice is heard trying to silence the taunts.
"Please, I am begging you not to," the unknown man says. "The man is being executed."
Two guards present at the hanging have been detained and questioned in connection with the taping, Iraqi officials have said.
Bush found the taunting of Hussein as he stood on the gallows with a noose around his neck disturbing, the officials said. Bush had a similar reaction when he saw the photos of U.S. military personnel abusing naked and restrained prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison outside of Baghdad in 2003.
Release of those pictures brought global condemnation of U.S. policies at Abu Ghraib and charges and disciplinary action against U.S. troops involved.
The longest prison sentence -- 10 years -- was given to Army Cpl. Charles Graner, who is seen in many of the Abu Ghraib photos with his then-girlfriend, Pfc. Lynndie England, who was sentenced to three years in prison. |
