Amnesty International: Iranian authorities utter disregard for the right to life

Rashid Kouhi, were  executed by Iran's fundamentalist regime

NCRI - Despite Amnesty International warnings for the sentence to be halted, Iran's fundamentalist  regime executed student Rashid Kouhi  earlier in the day on Saturday morning in Lakan prison of Rasht. Student Rashid was arrested in September 2011 ROODBAR checkpoint in Gilan Province , by Khamenei's henchmen and on false charges of drug possession was sentenced to death in a show trial, he was denied access to a lawyer. Amnesty International has strongly objected to the condemnation of  him and demanded to stop his sentence. On Friday Amnesty International said Mr. Kouhi's scheduled execution demonstrated the Iranian authorities utter disregard for the right to life and their determination to continue with a staggering execution spree that saw nearly 1000 people put to death last year. The human rights group said on its website: "At least 977 people were executed in Iran in 2015."
