Iran: Execution of political prisoner Abdolqani Gangouzehi Rigi in prison in Zahedan

Call on Security Council to adopt binding resolution against the ruling bloodthirsty religious fascism

The religious fascism ruling Iran hanged political prisoner Mr. Abdolqani Gangouzehi Rigi, 29, a valiant youth from Baluchistan, in Zahedan’s central prison on Saturday, December 19. In the past eight years he had been imprisoned and undergone severe tortures upon the mullahs’ fabricated charge of Moharebeh (enmity with God). He was martyred despite the fact that the Iranian regime’s unjust court in Zahedan had informed his family two months ago that his death sentence has been commuted by the Supreme Court. However, Mr. Gangouzehi’s resistance against all attempts by the Iranian regime to break him caused strong ire against him by the regime, and two days after the UN General Assembly resolution condemned the egregious violation of human rights in Iran they hanged him.
