NCRI - The Iranian regime on Sunday amputated the
hands of two prisoners in the central prison of Mashhad, northeast Iran.
One
of the victims, identified only by the initials M. E., was a 26-year-old
resident of Mashhad, the state-run daily Khorasan wrote on Monday. The second
victim was not identified; the report simply stated that this young man was
transferred from Khorasan Jonubi province to the same prison in Mashhad where
the sentence was carried out.
State
media claimed that the two men had been convicted of theft.
Last
month, a high ranking Iranian cleric, who is the representative of the regime’s
Supreme Leader in Hormozgan province (southern Iran), called for more inhumane
punishments of hand amputations to be carried out.
