There are several videos of public executions showing that this method is being 151114-bandarabbas-pic-peoplesystematically used by the Iranian authorities. In some cases it takes up to 15 minutes till the prisoner dies. IHR strongly urges the international community to react in order to stop the public executions in Iran. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR says: “Besides being a dehumanizing and barbaric punishment, Iranian authorities’ method of execution is pure torture. The prisoner dies a slow and painful death in front of the horrified children and adults. The international community must not tolerate such barbaric punishments in a country which is a full member of the United Nations. |
