Islamic Republic Of Iran Renews Wave Of Baluch Executions

The Islamic Republic hanged a member of the Baluch minority Thursday morning, bringing the number of executed Baluch prisoners to 19, including two women, in five days.

The Thursday execution was carried out at Mashhad Central Prison and there are unconfirmed reports that several other people from the minority group have been transferred to death row.
