A report on the practices of mullah’s regime “Executions and Arrests”

Iran's mullahs' ruling regime has increased its repressive practices, fearing of being overthrown and to prevent the expansion of citizen protests against the regime within the country. The regime carries out executions, arrests, dismissals and other repressive acts with the aim of creating an atmosphere of terror and intimidation in society.

The mullahs regime has at least executed 35 prisoners in July in Iran according to reports from the strongholds of the uprising, supporters of the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran (MEK) inside the country. Security forces has arrested more than 319 citizens for various reasons; at least 100 detainees were linked to MEK organization or other political and national groups.
