NCRI - Iranian attorney general in the Khorasan Razavi province , Gholam Ali Sadeghi, announced the hand-amputation of a person charged with theft, Sadeghi stated: this man had stolen jewelry six years ago, when he was 25 years old in Mashad.
The state run Khorasan press agency reported on October 12 that, according to Sadeghi, the court ruling was hand amputation for the 25 years old youth, and 10 years imprisonment and 74 lashes for his younger brother who was 22 years old.
He added: right after fulfilling the primary procedures of executing the ruling for M. N (initials of the name of convicted youth), in presence of the officials and physicians his hand was amputated.
Sadeghi claimed that to provide security the judiciary has a firm position vis-a-vis the thieves who steal people's belongings.
It is notable that on September 22 the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in a statement called on all international human rights authorities and organizations, in particular the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, and the reporters on arbitrary executions and torture, to condemn the clerical regime for executions and medieval punishments, such as hand amputation.
It also called on the international community, especially the European Union and the United States, to sanction the mullahs’ regime from committing these brutal punishments.
The leaders of the barbarism ruling Iran, who are the disgrace for contemporary humanity, must be rejected from the family of nations and brought to justice.
The statement further added that resorting to executions and arrest of people on the charges such as smuggling drugs and robbery is happening while the biggest thieves in Iran's history are the leaders of the ruling regime whose astronomical and chain thefts are the constant issues of internal struggle among the factions of this regime, and the drug traffickers in Iran and many countries of the world from Canada and the United States to various European countries to Far East Asia and Australia are controlled by Khamenei, the supreme leader of the regime, and the Revolutionary Guards.
