Iran's Prison Archipelago
(Gatestone Institute) Lawrence A. Franklin - Lost in the daily reporting about nuclear talks is the Iran regime's increased rate of executions of its own citizens. While the Islamic Republic dons a reasonable and sophisticated face to the world, the regime runs a vast network of prisons and detention centers, many of them still secret. This "Prison Archipelago," similar in relative size and brutality to the network once run by the Soviet KGB, is the primary instrument of terror that keeps the Iranian ruling class in power.
