Worldwide, Daily news | | October 16, 2011 20:47

Five Azerbaijanis were executed in the prison of Urmia city, Iran and three more are waiting for their execution, Azerbaijani news agency APA reported.

The Azerbaijani Political Prisoners’ Protection Committee told the agency that the execution was carried out on Sunday.

“No proper trial was held in connection with the executed Azerbaijanis and they were sentenced to death. Judicial decisions in Iran against sunni Azerbaijani minorities are harder in comparison with other religious minorities. Most of the executed people are sentenced under drug charges”, told the Committee.

Committee official Yashar Hakkakpur did not except drug charges: “The efforts for protection of rights are welcomed in Iran. We condemn unjust execution”.
