NCRI - Reacting to some comments on abolishing death penalty for drug traffickers in Iran, the Iranian regime’s Justice Minister and a member of the Death Committee responsible for the 1988 massacre of tens of thousands of political prisoners in Iran, has said: “One of the punishments for a corrupt person is execution.”
In an interview with the state news agency IRNA on Friday September 30, Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi stated that he doesn’t believe that the death penalty can be ruled out and added: “There are cases in which someone is a source of corruption and his existence will bring about nothing but corruption.”
