Makwan Moloudzadeh is executed<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

The news has just reached us. Makwan was executed last night (local time) in Dizel Abad Prison in the city of<\/span> Kermanshah<\/span>. Makwan\u2019s family have just collected his body and are on their way to the city of<\/span> Paveh<\/span>. Around 200 cars are following in procession the car carrying the body of a youngster murdered in cold blood by a bunch of criminal thugs.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

This crime must be recorded in history. Not only that \u2013 the criminals in power in<\/span> Iran<\/span> must be indicted through international courts. Makwan had not committed any crime. He was executed for a sexual relation with a class mate when they were both 13. He was executed for homosexuality.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

The International Committee Against Executions, along with several human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, launched a campaign to save Makwan. As a result of these actions, the head of the judiciary, Shahroudi, was forced to call for a review of the case, saying that the death sentence was incorrect.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

According to our information, the local authorities in Paveh and<\/span> Kermanshah<\/span> were insistent that the death sentence should be carried out. One of the officials is reported to have said \u201cPaveh\u2019s youths have become too cheeky; we should execute one so that it may be a lesson to others\u201d.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

The Islamic regime executed young Makwan because it wanted to create a climate of fear. The prison authorities even said to the family of Makwan that they had been good enough not to execute him publicly.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Since the announcement of the news of Makwan\u2019s execution at the hands of Islamic hangmen, a wave of sympathy and solidarity has swept the city.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The International Committee Against Executions strongly condemns this savage and despicable crime by the Islamic Republic,<\/strong> and calls on the people of Paveh and<\/span> Kermanshah<\/span> to extend their sympathies and support to Makwan\u2019s family.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Our Committee will pursue this crime through international bodies so that the murderers may be prosecuted.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
