The prisoners were among a group of six who had been transferred to solitary cells from sections 3,4 and 6 of the prison.

The names of four of the victims are: Ali-asghar Kokabi, 68, Hormoze Rezaei, 33, Farhad Mullah-hassani, 28, Akbar Nobakht Saran, 37.

This anti-human crime, concurrent with public abhorrence and loath for the raid on the political prisoners in Evin Prison, is to generate horror and fear in the society and the prisons throughout the country.

While the number of collective and arbitrary executions since Hassan Rouhani has assumed office is over 700, last week, this deceitful mullah demagogically described these anti-human as “God’s commandment” or the “law of parliament that belongs to the people”.

The families of the prisoners, who were executed today, joined a gathering in front of mullahs’ Presidential Office by families of political prisoners and a number of residents of Tehran. Families of the executed prisoners held placards that read: “Why execute?” This gathering was held in protest to the April 17 barbaric raid by suppressive forces on the political prisoners of Ward 350 of Evin Prison.
