NCRI – The Iranian regime’s henchmen hanged six prisoners on Sunday in two prisons in the southern cities of Shiraz and Kerman.

A group of four prisoners were hanged in Adelabad Prison in the city of Shiraz, according to reports received from Iran.

Another group of two men were executed in Shahab Prison in the city of Kerman. Asghar Shabani and Mehrdad Abshirin were members of a group of three prisoners who had been transferred to isolation on Saturday to face execution.

The third member of the group was Shabani’s wife whose fate is unknown.

These executions have been carried out in secret and no information has been published in the news media in the country.

These executions followed the hanging of two Baloch prisoners in the main prison in the southeastern city on Saturday.

The two Balochi men, identified as Hamed Kahrazhi, 28 and Mobasher Mir-Balochzehi, had spent four years in prison.

They had been sentenced to death for ‘Moharebe’ or enmity with God.
