NCRI - A prisoner identified by his first name, Abbas, was hanged in the southern city of Kazeron, the state-run daily Qods reported on December 10, 2008.

Three prisoners identified only by their initials as M.M., P.D. and A.R. were hanged by the mullahs' judiciary in the southeastern city of Zahedan, reported the semi-official news agency Fars on December 6.

Separately, the mullahs' regime hanged two prisoners aged 25 and 27 without identifying them in Dastgerd prison in central city of Isfahan on December 2.

 A young pregnant woman identified as Shahla has been sentenced to death by the Iranian regime. Her husband has also been sentenced to death according to the state-run media.

In the meantime, the mullahs' judiciary had sentenced a 30-year-old woman to death, reported the state-run daily Etemaad on December 14.

The Iranian Resistance draws the attention of all international human rights organizations, in particular the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to the appalling human rights conditions in Iran and calls for the referral of the regime’s human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for adoption of binding measures to stop brutal rights abuses.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has documents to prove the United States and Britain, the Islamic Republic's two Western arch foes, back a group that killed 16 abducted Iranian police officers, state radio reported on Saturday.

Shi'ite-dominated Iran said this month the Sunni group Jundollah (God's Soldiers) had killed 16 police hostages who were abducted from a checkpoint in the southeastern Sistan- Baluchestan province in June.

Tehran, which often accuses Britain and the United States of trying to destabilise the Islamic Republic, has said Jundollah's head, Abdolmalek Rigi, is part of the Sunni Islamist al Qaeda network.

"There are documents that show that Britain and America are supporting Rigi's terrorist group with arms and information," the radio quoted Ebrahim Raisi, first deputy to Iran's judiciary chief, as saying.

"The Iranian nation will avenge the blood of the border post soldiers powerfully," it added, without providing further details on the documents.

Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda is blamed for numerous attacks on the United States, including the September 2001 assaults on New York and Washington that killed some 3,000 people.

Jundollah operates mostly in Sistan-Baluchestan, a volatile region near the border with Pakistan, home to Iran's mostly Sunni ethnic Baluchis. The area is notorious for clashes between security forces and heavily armed bandits and drug smugglers.

"All forces -- police, security and the judiciary branch -- are determined to deal very strongly with the soldiers of the devil," Raisi said, referring to Jundollah.

Similar comments about action against the group's attacks were made by Ahmad Khatami, a senior Iranian cleric, during a sermon to worshippers on Friday in Tehran.

Iran has blamed Jundollah for other abductions and in 2007 the group claimed responsibility for an attack on a bus carrying Iranian Revolutionary Guards that killed 11 people.

Iran has not had diplomatic ties with the United States since 1980. Britain has an embassy in Tehran but relations have often been strained over the years, mainly because of Britain's involvement in Iranian politics when it was an imperial power.
