Another public execution was carried, today, in the City of Shiraz under heavy security measures and despite residents’ protest.

The victim named “Mozafar Zareh” was accused of “Kidnapping”, “Armed Robbery” and “Murder”. He was arrested following the clashes which happened, two years ago, in this southern city between protesters and Islamic regime’s security forces.

Tens were injured and at least two were killed during the clashes. Several public buildings were damaged by protesters who retaliated to the brutal attacks made by militiamen.

Public executions are common, in Iran, as the theocratic regime uses them to show example to the population on the consequences of what can happened due to the expression of their aspiration for a total change.

The Islamic republic regime is known for using false labels, such as, “Kidnapping”, “Armed Robbery”, “Murder”, “Drug Trafficking”, “Spying” or “Banditism” in order to qualify some of its exasperated opponents. Such policy helps its European, Asian and S. American partners to continue their economic relations with a repressive regime vis-à-vis their public opinions.
