The Islamic regime publicly executes on International Human Rights Day

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi
The regime-run newspaper HAMSHAHRI, in its Sunday, December 11th edition wrote:A man who was charged with murder in Esfahan was hung in public on Saturday morning. The defendant only known as ROSTAM, whose hands were cuffed and ankles shackled, trembled with fear as he was escorted to the gallows by two of the regimes guards. The sound of the police car sirens was deafening and the comings and goings of the guards and the judiciary and prison authorities was surreal for Rostam. A young physician examined Rostam and after pronouncing him healthy, he gave the go-ahead to carry out the execution. At that moment two guards took him up to the noose. Rostams legs had no more strength to hold him up. They put the noose around his neck and suddenly all bitter and sweet memories, like a straw in the wind, blew into the cold autumn air. A stool fell to one side of the execution platform; a gray plastic slipper fell to the ground.”
