IRAN: Human Rights Violations

Akhbar Rooz: Eight Iranian Arab minorities are to be executed including Faleh Abdullah al-Mansouri, a Dutch national and UNHCR registered refugee, deported to Iran by the Syrian authorities in May 2006. Al-Mansouri is currently being tortured in Section 209, a notorious prison run by the Ministry of Intelligence. He was sentenced to death while in exile and is likely to be executed in Iran. Three more are sentenced to life. One of them is Hamzeh Savari who was arrested at the age of eighteen and two of his brothers were executed last year.
