NCRI - The mullahs' judiciary sentenced two young men to death by being thrown off of a cliff in the holy city of Qom on Sunday.
 
On May 12, five young men identified only as Morteza, 21; Hadi, 24; Javad, 24; Hossein, 19 and Mehdi, 24 were hanged in the same city, reported the state-run daily Iran.

The mullahs' judiciary did not stop at sentencing the five young men to execution by hanging; in addition, they were also sentenced to be thrown off a cliff.

On January 2, two other men identified as Tayab and Yazdan in their twenties, were given the same punishment.

"Two youths will be thrown into a precipice in the vicinity of the city of Shiraz," reported the state-run daily Qods. Shiraz is located in southern Iran.
The prisoners will be enclosed in a bag before being thrown into the ravine at the top of a cliff.

According to mullahs' penal laws if the victims survive this fall, they will be hanged.

SULAIMANIYA, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq will halt attacks within Turkey in a week-long cease-fire in honour of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim holiday, an official said on Monday.

Ruz Walat, an official with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), said the cease-fire for the separatist group, which has fought for years with Turkish forces in northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey, would last until Saturday.

"PKK fighters will stop attacks inside Turkey, but if the Turkish army does not respect the cease-fire then we will fight back," he added.

Turkish forces have routinely bombed and shelled remote PKK areas in the mountains of northern Iraq, from which rebels have launched attacks into Turkey.

The PKK, which the United States and European Union deem a terrorist organisation, claimed responsibility for detonating a section of the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline between Iraq and Turkey last month.

Also last month, U.S., Turkish and Iraqi officials held talks in Baghdad on how to restrain PKK activities.
