Amnesty International developed this "slideshow that features stories of the death penalty around the world, narrated by Colin Firth", hopefully Iranian regime would listen up to this message and would take some serious actions to stop massive executions in Iran.
In executing people, Iran is the second after china and in juvenile executions Iran is the first.

Routine and Widespread Torture in Iran
Today HRW published a report about torture in Jordan's prisons. It was not shocking to me because I have seen and heard a lot worst than that in Iran. I wish United Nations human rights bodies could have access to Iranian prisons then they will find out the extreme level of torture that begins from temporary detention in small police stations to secret detentions and further in prisons.
They wrote about common form of torture in Jordan:
The most common forms of torture include beatings with cables and sticks and the suspension by the wrists from metal grates for hours at a time, during which guards flog a defenseless prisoner. Prison guards also torture prisoners for perceived infractions of prison rules.Same here in Iran, it's a common form of torture in Iran too. Read the rest of report.
Torture is not only legal in Iran also confessions under torture are valid and unfortunately Iranian judiciary system sentence accused based on those confessions. How do they justify that? Their unofficial answer is "If you weren't criminal you wouldn't confess even under torture".
This inhuman mentality and behavior should stop now and forever and I hope Jordanians would change for better.
