Associated Press
Tehran , August 20, 2009

An Iranian state-owned newspaper says authorities hanged four men, in the first execution since the new judiciary chief took office.

The Thursday report by IRNA daily says two men were hanged in Tehran's Evin prison on charges of murder.

Two others were executed in the city of Isfahan on drug smuggling charges. All were hanged on Wednesday, two days after the country's new judiciary chief, Sadeq Larijani, took office.

According to media reports, more than 100 executions have been reported since January. Iran does not publish official statistics on the number of executions.

Murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping and drug trafficking are all punishable with the death penalty under Iran's law.

Islamic Republic (Iran) hangs 24 drug traffickers 'in mass execution'


Aug, 05, 2009 at 08:17 AM (AFP) – 2 hours ago

TEHRAN — Iran hanged 24 convicted drug traffickers in a prison last week in one of the country's biggest mass executions, the Etemad newspaper reported on Wednesday.

"On Thursday, 24 international drug traffickers were hanged in a prison in Karaj," deputy Tehran prosecutor Mahmoud Salarkia was quoted as saying. "Their execution was approved by the supreme court."

The report did not identify any of those sent to the gallows in Karaj, a town west of Tehran.

The latest hangings bring to at least 219 the number of people executed in the Islamic republic so far this year, according to an AFP count based on news reports.

They were the second such executions in about a month in the same prison, where the Iranian authorities hanged 20 drug traffickers on July 4.

In July last year, Iran hanged 29 people who had been convicted of various crimes, including murder, rape and drug trafficking. It was the largest mass execution in recent years.

In January last year, 13 people were hanged, including a mother of two found guilty of murdering her husband.

In 2008, Iran executed 246 people, second only to China.

Tehran says the death penalty is a necessary tool for maintaining public security and is only applied after exhaustive judicial proceedings.

EU condemns mass execution of 24 in Islamic Republic (Iran)


Updated: Thursday, August 06, 2009,10:30 GMT—6:30AM/EST

Washington, 6 August (WashingtonTV)—The Swedish Presidency of the European Union on Thursday condemned the mass execution of 24 people in Iran, who were hanged last week for drug trafficking.

“The Presidency of the European Union condemns the execution of 24 persons in the city of Karaj in Iran on 30 July,” it said in a statement.

It said it was “concerned about the continued large-scale use of the death penalty in Iran, including the repeated incidence of collective executions during the past month.”

The mass executions in Karaj were the second such executions in nearly a month in the same prison, where Iran hanged another 20 convicted drug traffickers on 4 July.

Last week’s execution was one of the largest mass executions in the country in recent years.

The EU Presidency said it “continues to call on the Iranian authorities to abolish the death penalty completely and, in the meantime, to establish a moratorium on executions.”

Iran has execution at least 219 people so far this year, according to an AFP count.

Amnesty International said that Iran executed at least 346 people in 2008, second only to China.

Murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking, adultery and apostasy are among the crimes punishable by death in the Islamic Republic.
