Iran Hangs 30 Over 'U.S. Plots' 2007-08-18 23:38:41 (159 weeks ago) Posted By: Intellpuke (Read 980 times || 0 comments) Surge in public executions is a push to silence political activists, say critics. Iran has hanged up to 30 people in the past month amid a clampdown prompted by alleged U.S.-backed plots to topple the regime, The Observer reports. Many executions have been carried out in public in an apparent bid to create a climate of intimidation while sending out uncompromising signals to the West. Opposition sources say at least three of the dead were political activists, contradicting government insistence that it is targeting "thugs" and dangerous criminals. The executions have coincided with a crackdown on student activists and academics accused of trying to foment a "soft revolution" with U.S.  support. The most high-profile recent executions involved Majid Kavousifar, 28, and his nephew, Hossein Kavousifar, 24, hanged for the murder of a hardline judge, Hassan Moghaddas, a man notorious for jailing political dissidents. They were hanged from cranes and hoisted high above one of Tehran's busiest thoroughfares. (story continues below) Your Ad Here Make a donation today to remove the advertisments!
