 Execution  January 2009


 

Mass execution for Islamic Republic of (Iran) murderers

09:51 GMT, Thursday, 22 January 2009


Ten convicted murderers have been put to death in a single day in Iran, state media says.

The men were hanged on Wednesday morning at a jail in the capital, Tehran, the Iran newspaper reported.

The BBC's correspondent in Iran says the authorities have taken to carrying out mass executions because they see it as an extra deterrent.

Iran is thought to have put to death more than 150 people last year. Rights groups say only China executes more.

The latest executions took place at Evin prison in Tehran.

According to government-owned media, the convicts included a robber who killed a taxi driver, a drug addict who killed his aunt, and another man who murdered three members of a family with whom he was having a dispute.

Murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery are all punishable by death in Iran.

The government does not publish figures on executions, so estimates on the numbers of people put to death are often based on media reports.

Most criminals are hanged, but two men were recently stoned to death for adultery.

The BBC's Jon Leyne, in Tehran, says pictures of the convicts making their way to the gallows are sometimes shown on state TV.

Islamic Republic of (Iran) hangs 10 (12) murderers in mass execution

TEHRAN: Iran has hanged 10 men convicted of murder in a mass execution in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, the government Iran newspaper reported on Thursday.

The executions of the men, aged between 21 and 42, were carried out Wednesday morning, the report said.

Iran also hanged 12 other men on Wednesday and Tuesday in other cities, according to earlier press reports.

Among those hanged at Evin prison was an Afghan national, Molagol Hassan, who had killed his compatriot, identified as Fakhredin, in 2004 after stealing his money, the Iran said.

The newspaper said that a 25-year-old man, identified only as Ali, had been lined up for the gallows but was spared the death penalty after he managed to convince victim's family to accept blood money.

According to the country's Islamic law, the family can spare a murderer from execution by accepting blood money for the victim's life, leaving the convict to serve only a jail term.

Since last year, the Islamic republic has stepped up its use of the death penalty in an unprecedented crackdown in a bid, it says, to improve security in society, triggering protests from Western right groups.

The latest hangings bring to at least 26 the number of executions in Iran so far this year. Iran executed at least 246 people last year.

Amnesty International says Iran carried out more death sentences in 2007 than any other country apart from China, executing 317 people.

Capital offences in the Islamic republic include murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery.

Three men identified only as Alireza, Hassan and Mohammad Hassan were hanged in the prison of the province of Yazd on Wednesday for drug trafficking, the ISNA news agency reported.

In a group execution in Yazd prison, six men died on Tuesday after being convicted for murder, rape, armed robbery or drug trafficking, the Fars news agency reported.

Jan Mohammad M., 41, and Reza M., 34, were put to death in a prison in the province of Isfahan on Tuesday for drug trafficking, Fars said.

Another convicted drug trafficker, identified only as Gholam, was hanged on Tuesday in a prison in the northwestern city of Karaj, the Iran newspaper reported.

Fars also reported that 11 men were lined up to be sent to the gallows on Wednesday morning in the Evin prison of Tehran, but it did not say whether the executions were carried out or suspended.

The hangings bring to at least 16 the number of executions in Iran so far this year. Iran executed at least 246 people last year, according to an Agence France-Presse count.

Amnesty International says Iran carried out more death sentences in 2007 than any other country apart from China, executing 317 people.

Capital offenses in the Islamic republic include murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery.
