Iran: flogging a man in public



 Flogging is one of the most inhuman punishments by the criminal regime in Iran.
The sentence carried on Monday at 9:00am in a crowded street of Karaj, central Iran for an alleged offence of 'disturbing public order and mischief.' The victim was identified as Kamran Jamalzadeh.
He had been sentenced to one year in prison and exile.
Public floggings have soared in Iran in recent weeks in a bid to spread fear amongst the country’s youth and suppress to prevent public expression of dissent. It's important to know that the real number of floggings in Iran is much higher than officially announced.



 
When Iran’s new President Hassan Rouhani was elected in 2013, he promised that he would stop the political oppression and will restore civil freedoms and rights to all ethnic and religious groups. Sadly, during the following almost two years, the opposite has taken place. As for the executions, Iran notoriously ranks among the three leading countries of the world. The Government-sponsored policy of violent intolerance has reached a point that the regime has begun to shut down even charity organizations which provide help for the needy and sick co-citizens.

Now, it is time to change.  It's time to realize that while political attention has been concentrated on achieving a nuclear deal with the Iranian clerical dictatorship, the attention of international actors has been led aside from the serious worsening of the human rights situation and the increased discrimination against national and religious minorities.
The Iranian resistance is the only serious opposition against dictator regime in Iran. One of the points of grand incoming Iranian gathering on June 13, 2015 is the solution for changing situation in Iran.
