Horrific punishments in Iran

Iran: inhumane amputation verdict implemented in Mashhad

Dossier of the Iranian regime's crimes must be referred to the Security Council and its leaders must face justice in international courts.
The mullahs’ inhumane regime implemented an amputation verdict by cutting off the right hand and left leg of a prisoner in Mashhad.
The victim was charged with collaborating with two other men in robbing a branch of Bank Meli in 2014 and getting away with 1.29 billion rials (around $43,000). 
According to state-run media this group had since 2004 robbed seven other banks. Inhumane rulings and punishments are continuing and executions have skyrocketed despite all of Hassan Rouhani ’s promises of ‘moderation’.
The Iranian resistance called on the international community particularly the European Union, the United States and all human rights defenders to strongly condemn.
