Mullahs Unleash Execution Spree to Retain Power

Daily Mail : Iran's regime has launched a killing spree in an attempt to clamp down on political dissidents and stop another uprising from unfolding. At least four top anti-regime figures were brutally executed in Iran in the last 48 hours, while another 15 political prisoners have been sentenced to death in recent days, according to an opposition group.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran, a political coalition formed by exiled dissidents, warned of a potential upcoming 'massacre' in the country's prisons as rattled leaders attempt to crush any notion of another mass uprising. 

The brutal new clampdown comes as the US and Israel continue to hammer the country with bombs. It also comes weeks after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei - who oversaw the slaughter of tens of thousands of rioters in January - was wiped out in an airstrike, leaving his son Mojtaba in charge. 

During a briefing on Wednesday, the NCRI's Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mohammad Mohaddessin said: 'These executions were not only the taking of four lives, but they were also a message from the regime.' 

Mr Mohaddessin warned that the killings of Pouya Ghobadi, Babak Alipour, Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi and Ali Akbar Daneshvarkar - all members of the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran - were the product of the regime trying to 'exert control.' ' 

Why were they executed now? During a very hard external war? Because the regime leadership is extremely concerned about the domestic situation and the possibility of another uprising,' he said.
