Surprisingly, in addition to 33, 85 more Baloch prisoners are being prepared to hang them. All of them are lodged in jail. This development not only questions the judicial system of Iran, but also considers it a communal and political repression.

According to the Baloch Activist Campaign report, the purpose behind these hanging seems more political pressure and repression than justice. It is alleged that these people were implicated under politically motivated allegations. The human rights organization says that hanging the Baloch prisoners without a transparent legal process is a violation of international human rights laws.
