THIS is the chilling moment Iran’s tyrants hang a murderer from a crane in front of a grim, cheering crowd of locals and children.
Sajad Molayi Hakani was executed in Kordkuy, Golestan, after being convicted of robbery and the murder of a mother and her three children in October.
He was sentenced to qisas, which means retaliation in kind in Islamic law, with his wife also due to be executed in prison at a later date.
Haunting footage shows the man standing on a platform with a noose around his neck as crowds gather to watch the horrific event.
The rope is attached to the crane, which appears to be controlled by a member of the execution team.
This execution comes as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ordered an increase in public hangings, aiming to intimidate dissidents with these public spectacles.
Iran has repeatedly unleashed lethal force on its own people – especially at times of crisis – in a sickening bid to stamp out rebellion.
Executions and arrests have become tools to frighten dissenters, with concerns that Ayatollah Khamenei may have plans for an operation similar to the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners.
The regime was also in turmoil that year after accepting a ceasefire with Iraq.
Disturbingly, the state-operated Fars News Agency, associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, recently called for a recurrence of the brutal 1998 massacre, as the regime fears for its grip on power.
British politicians and leading human rights lawyers have urged the UK government to intervene to prevent such an atrocity.
Alongside the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), critiques have been made regarding the focus on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, stressing that this has overshadowed the worsening human rights conditions.
Baroness O’Loan DBE stated, “Those endangering our national security are the very same individuals orchestrating atrocities in Iran’s prisons. We must act immediately.”
Dowlat Nowrouzi, the NCRI’s UK representative, told The Sun: “The international community’s failure to hold the regime accountable for its atrocities, including crimes against humanity and genocide, has allowed the regime to enjoy impunity.
“It is long overdue to hold Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, and others accountable for committing these crimes.”
Earlier this year, Saeed Masouri, who spent 25 years behind bars, also revealed how the execution rate has spiralled.
In June alone, the regime’s merciless killing spree saw at least 176 inmates sent to the gallows.
Masouri, who was arrested for his affiliation with the resistance unit People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, revealed the secret process behind executions.
Psychological torture, threats against family and sham trials are all used as tools by the regime to condemn its enemies to death on trumped-up charges.
Defendants – and their lawyers – are often even denied access to their own files, making it near impossible to be cleared.
Hossein Abedini, deputy director of the NCRI offices in the UK, said paranoid rules were hellbent on stamping out repression.
He told The Sun: “Executions under the clerical regime contravene all internationally recognised standards and norms of due process and are fundamentally used as a political instrument of repression.
“Faced with deep-rooted crises stemming from illegitimacy, corruption, and incompetence, and driven by fear of popular uprisings and nationwide protests, this regime has resorted to increasing executions.
“It employs inhumane pressures on political prisoners, torturing and harassing them and their families.
“As a result, the rate of executions in Iran is rising at an unprecedented level in recent decades, with death sentences issued even for political prisoners arrested during the September 2022 uprising.”
Iran ramps up executions
by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital)
PARANOID Iranian leaders are hellbent on ramping up repression on home turf in a dramatic bid to stamp out rebellion, insiders say.
It comes as Iran’s regime has been left red-faced by the downfall of Syria’s dictatorship as well as severe defeats of its terror proxies.
Executions are said to be taking place every couple of hours as Iran slaughters its people in “unprecedented numbers”.
Iran has one of the most horrific human rights records in the world, and according to campaigners also holds the harrowing title for the highest execution rate.
The Sun previously revealed how dozens of people had been sentenced to death by stoning just for adultery.
Harrowing records leaked from Iran’s torturous prisons also showed how thousands were holed up on death row for petty crimes.
In 2024, the Iranian regime ramped up the executions of its own people – including women, children and political prisoners.
Official records show that the number of executions last year reached 1,000 – the highest number in 30 years and 16 percent higher than the previous.
Of those on record, 34 were women and seven were under 18 at the time of their so-called crimes.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) fears the true toll is much higher as many of the deaths are kept secret, however.
Most of the surging executions are by hanging, but there is also evidence of other medieval torture punishments including public flogging, limb-removal and eye-gouging.
