Iran New Agency reports that nine prisoners are planned for execution on Sunday, February 7.
From a letter sent to :
The government’s fear of [upcoming] protests has resulted in its leaders using execution as a method to stop the people.
The previous day, I heard from a relative who is a [regime] guard high up in the system that on Sunday February 7, 2010, nine political prisoners are scheduled for public execution.
The government intends to get the Basij forces to monitor the [outdoor] surrounding area to see if people have gathered to protest. If people have gathered then the [regime forces] will not bring the prisoners, and instead, execute them at Evin Prison.
Also, the government plans to close down the streets to have full control.
