In the meantime the cruel punishment of amputation of hand and foot of 2 prisoners in the central prison of Mashhad was carried out. (State media, August 3).

Amnesty International, referring to the shocking statistics of 700 executions in the 1st 6 months of the year, in a statement on July 23 said: "Iran's staggering execution toll for the 1st half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of the state carrying out premeditated, judicially-sanctioned killings on a mass scale."

Religious fascism ruling Iran that the Iranian people call "The Godfather of ISIS", in the face of rising public discontent and hatred, continually increases the dimensions of execution and torture and suppression.
