26 prionsers were executed in one day in Wakilabad Prison by the iranian government

The execution of people in Iran has been continuously going on with no stop. Twenty six people were executed in Wekilabad prison in Mashhad district.
According to International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, 26 people who were charged with drug-trading were hanged in Wekilabad Prison.
The charge of drug-trading held against them is not being confirmed by any independent sources. Iran has executed many political activists in the past labelling them as “drug-dealers” to justify their execution.
The Iranian authorities have also confirmed the allegation that in the last year they had executed 140 people in Wekilabad prison.
It should be noted that the numbers of execution carried out in Mashhad province are very rarely published by the Iranian authorities.
