Every man in an Iranian village in Sistan and Baluchistan has been executed

Share:

Iran has executed about 350 people in 2015 and executed approximately six people per day between April 9 and April 26.

Every man in an Iranian village has reportedly been executed by the government on drug charges.

Shahindokht Molaverdi, the vice president for women and family affairs, was arguing for increased provision for convicts’ families when she made the admission.

“We have a village in Sistan and Baluchestan (province) where every single man has been executed,” she told the Mehr news agency.

“Today their children are potential drug traffickers; either because they will seek revenge for the deaths of their fathers or because they will need to financially provide for their families, as a result of lack of support by the government.”

It was unclear when the men in the unnamed village died or whether the executions were carried out at once or over an extended period of time.

Ms Molaverdi argued that society was responsible for the families of executed convicts and said a dropped welfare programme had been reinstated.

Her comments were translated by the Iran Human Rights group, which said several hundred people are hanged on drug charges ever year in Iran, mostly from marginalised groups and ethnic minorities.

        No one has to this date died from starvation,lack of clothing homelessness or from not having money in Iran since the revolution in 1979. One of Irans major struggles from within the nation is the country been flooded with drugs pushed by Zionists from mainly Afghanistan .To justify selling drugs for personal material gains to people who have to turn to crime and lets not forget the damage done to the addicts familys also resulting in the addict having to steal money or property from someone else who probably hasnt much either or as worked to gain these valubles is an unashamed arrogant contradictive selfish hypocrite who is a menace to all society not just the Iranians.

  3. Unbelievable every man in an Iranian village has reportedly been executed by the government on drug charges.

    I agree that serious crimes must be severely punished, but death sentences ..?

    Red:
    Countries that apply capital punishment for drug offenses
    Orange:
    Only under certain conditions, the United States is a member of a very exclusive club…..

      Depends on which State. They are not exactly ‘United’ in all things.

        ‘United’ or ‘Union’ makes no difference, it is more and more a utopia than one have thought it would be a perfect form of a homogeneous society.
