Three "Enemies of Allah" Get the Noose
The Iranian executioner has been very very busy of late. Chalk up three more.
"Iran: Three hanged in Baluchistan" from AKI:
Tehran, 6 August (AKI) - The recent spate of executions in Iran continued on Monday with the announcement of the hanging of three men in the country's southeastern Baluchistan region.Crossposted to Dhimmi Watch
Abdelaziz Esmailzehi, Abdoljamal Shahbakhsh and Ali Akbar Shahbakhsh were sentenced to death after being found guilty of being moharebeh, or “enemies of Allah”.
The three were hanged in a prison courtyard in Zahedan, the capital of Baluchistan, according to a statement by the local Revolutionary Tribunal.
Iran has carried out more than 150 executions to date this year compared to the 177 for the whole of 2006.
The killings have prompted outrage, especially in some Western nations, with Italy on Friday appealing to Iran to halt executions on humanitarian grounds. Tehran responded by telling Rome it should not interfere in Iran's internal matters.

But of course, the same folks who won't try to stop Iran from conducting wholesale executions will claim that Israel is massacreing palestinians by the hundreds.
What, me bitter?
