Regime Judiciary Chief claims “No one is executed in Iran for their political convictions”

Iranian Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani said on Wednesday that no one is executed in Iran for his/her political views claiming only major drug traffickers, murderers, armed robbers, and rapists are hanged in Iran.

Larijani made the remarks in response to a report issued by Ahmed Shaheed, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran.
“In the Islamic Republic of Iran, we definitely do not have any political executions,” Larijani said at a meeting of high-ranking Judiciary officials.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he said the Judiciary will show no mercy toward thugs and gangs who threaten the security of the people.
