The Islamic Republic of Iran has instigated another round of mass executions in an effort to terrorise the Iranian people in advance of the one-year anniversary of the ongoing Iranian uprising, June 12.
According to reliable human rights organization RAHANA, 26 people in Gezelhasar prison in Karaj, who had been charged with “drug-related offenses,” had been moved to solitary confinement in preparation for their imminent execution. On the morning of June 7 2010, 13 of these 26 prisoners were executed.

On June 8, 6 more were executed.
The world's mainstream media, once again, is choosing to ignore pressures from human rights organisations and concerned individuals who want to give a voice to the voiceless.
It is not acceptable to wait until the noose has tightened around the neck of another innocent before we report on and publicly condemn these reprehensible actions.
Mission Free Iran, an international collective of activists campaigning for democracy in Iran, have called for urgent action.
