Iran – Death penalty – Con Leila Zarafshan sale a 95 the number of women hanged in Iran…

Si chiama Leila Zarafshan, and the 95 th woman hanged by the theocratic dictatorship in power in Iran, together with her they executed 10 prisoners among the 25 e 26 September in Gouhar-dasht prisons in Karaj and in Sanandaj and Urumieh, simultaneously with the session of the UN General Assembly in New York with the presence of Rouhani.

Thursday 19 September 2019 The European Parliament has adopted a resolution condemning the Iranian regime for violations of women's rights in Iran. The resolution was adopted with 608 votes in favour, 7 antonyms and 46 abstentions.

The European Parliament issued a statement condemning the Iranian regime for brutally repressing women who refuse to wear the veil, who demand freedom of expression and assembly. These are arrested arbitrarily, and almost always killed in prisons on charges of sedition, and to be sympathizers of the dissidents' Resistance.

Many human rights defenders have been jailed for their work, we remember the lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh sentenced to 33 of prison and 148 whippings; it was the harshest sentence imposed on human rights defenders in Iran in recent years, proving that the authorities, encouraged by the complete impunity enjoyed by those responsible for these violations, they are escalating the repression, especially due to the increasingly numerous popular uprisings.

The European Parliament resolution also called for all Iranian-EU citizens, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, are released immediately. The European Parliament, via Anna Fotyga, Polish MP, he said he admired the Iranian fighters for their courage in the fight for women's rights and their protests against the regime, led by a woman, Maryam Rajavi who heads the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Ncri).

The use of the death penalty was also strongly condemned, particularly against minors, calling on the Iranian authorities to proceed with its abolition and to cooperate with the United Nations Special Rapporteur to clarify the issue of human rights violations in Iran, allowing the entry of international inspectors into the country.

The Iranian authorities were also asked to review all legal provisions that discriminate against women and ensure their access to all stadiums., in particular reference to the tragedy of the young woman who recently set herself on fire and died after being sentenced to prison for entering a stadium to watch a match. All this going on at the New York conference, while in Iran the ninety-fifth woman victim of theocratic power was hanged.
