Mogherini’strip to Iran encourages mulla's more executions

Mogherini's upcoming trip to Tehran and meetings with those responsible for 120,000 political executions and 700 executions in the past six months encourages further executions and violates the values of democracy and human rights, and must be cancelled.

Ms. Mogherini plans to meet with those responsible for 120,000 political executions and the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988. Amnesty International in a press release on July 23 wrote that in the first half of 2015 at least 694 prisoners have been executed in Iran , adding: "Iran's staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of the state carrying out premeditated, judicially-sanctioned killings on a mass scale. ... We are likely to see more than 1,000 state-sanctioned deaths by the year's end. "
