Most of them are first-time drug offenders" (Mehr state run news agency – November 23).
Youssefian, another member of parliament had said: “We have executed so many, we execute every day. ... Rajaeeshahr 30, another place 20, another place 10, what was the result? In 1990 when I was the prosecutor in Mazandaran province, a report came from the office of education that when you execute one person, 20 to 30 other students don’t come to school… a lady said in the court … in Iran it is not the individual who gets executed , a whole family is executed,.” (Farhang state-run radio November 23).
The NCRI statement further concluded. “Any relationship with this medieval regime, which maintains power only through torture and execution, must be contingent upon a halt to executions. Ignoring the appalling record of human rights violations by the clerical regime under any pretext emboldens Iran's ruling criminals.”
