January 02 - 2008 Hanging
Three drug traffickers were hanged in a square in the central city of Qom and another two in the eastern city of Zahedan, state media said, the first executions to be reported in 2008. The three hanged in Qom were Safarali Nazari Ashkar, convicted of trafficking 455 grams of heroin, Sohbatollah Malaki, who trafficked 170 grams and Habib Oliaei, convicted of smuggling 590 grams, according to the official IRNA news agency. "By implementing God's law, we are increasing security in society and we are sending a message that Qom is not a safe haven for those who break the law," said local judiciary official Hoda Torshizi. State media did not identify the two convicts hanged in Zahedan but said they had been found guilty of transporting 5,25 kilograms of heroin. Iranian law sets tough penalties for drug trafficking, with anyone found guilty of smuggling more than 30 grams of heroin or five kilograms of opium liable to the death penalty. Last year, Iran carried out at least 297 executions, according to an AFP count compiled from press reports. The total was a sharp increase on 2006, when 177 executions were carried out, according to Amnesty International. Iran currently makes more use of the death penalty than any other country apart from China. Executions soared in 2007 amid a campaign which the authorities say is aimed at improving security in society. Capital offences in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, serious drug trafficking and adultery. Human rights groups have accused Iran of excessive resort to the death penalty, but the authorities say capital punishment is an effective deterrent that is only used after an exhaustive judicial process.

TEHRAN, Iran: Iran executed by hanging 12 men and one woman convicted of murder and drug smuggling, an official newspaper reported Thursday.
Iran hangs 13 on single day: reports TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran hanged 13 convicted criminals on Wednesday, including the mother of two young children who had been found guilty of murdering her husband after discovering he was having an affair, reports said. Raheleh Zamani, who reportedly chopped her husband's body into pieces, was hanged alongside seven men convicted of murder, in a mass execution at Tehran's Evin prison, the Iranian Student Correspondents' Association (ISCA) reported. Three drug traffickers were also hanged on Wednesday in public in a square in the central city of Qom and another two in the eastern city of Zahedan, state media reported. Pictures from Qom showed the three blindfolded men, their bodies hanging limply from nooses attached to cranes as dusk fell, the winter snow falling heavily. The hangings, the first reported in 2008, were the latest in a growing number of executions in the Islamic republic as the authorities impose a drive they say is aimed at improving security in society.
ISCA said Raheleh had killed her husband Mohammad in 2005 by beating his head with an iron bar after discovering he was having an affair with another woman. She then chopped up the body and hid the pieces in several containers.
Iran hangs convicted child abuser TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran hanged a man on Thursday who had been found guilty of severely torturing and raping a 12-year-old boy in the western city of Hamedan, the state news agency IRNA reported. The 23-year-old man, identified only as A., was hanged in a prison in Hamedan for raping and torturing the boy, named as Behzad, in February 2007, it said. The Etemad Melli newspaper said the man was named Ali and an acquaintance of Behzad's family who was apprehended by a hospital guard when he tried to drop off the child after four days of "physical and sexual abuse". "They took drugs and burned my body and tongue with cigarettes and a hot skewer. In these four days, we went around in the car in the morning and at night they tortured and raped me," Behzad told Etemad Melli. Behzad was picked up from his house by Ali and his friend Mehdi in the absence of his divorced mother who "knew Ali and trusted him", the report said. "The accomplice is also sentenced to death but his verdict has not yet been approved by the supreme court," IRNA said. The execution brings to 14 the number of people hanged in Iran so far this year. On Wednesday, Iran executed 13 convicted criminals, including the mother of two young children who had been found guilty of murdering her husband. Last year, Iran carried out at least 297 executions, according to an AFP count compiled from press reports. The total was a sharp increase on 2006, when 177 executions were carried out, according to Amnesty International. Iran currently makes more use of the death penalty than any other country apart from China. Capital offences in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, serious drug trafficking and adultery.
