Thursday, 27 Oct 2008 (Tehran )
Tehran, 27 Oct. (AKI) - Two Baluchis accused of belonging to a band of drug traffickers, were hanged on Monday in Zahedan, capital of Iranian Baluchistan.
In an official statement issued by Zahedan prison, the names of the two prisoners were not released, only their initials.
According to data released by the Italy-based human rights group, Hands Off Cain, the hanging of E.M and Kh.N lifted the number of executions in Iran to 230 since the beginning of 2008.
Last week, the Italian rights group said that Iran ranked close to China and Saudi Arabia for the highest number of executions.
"Iran was 'distinguished' by the high number of death sentences, carried out by public hangings, usually with a crane or low platform to assure a slow and painful death," the organisation said in a statement.
"In 2007 at least 355 people were put to death, a third higher than at least 215 executions in 2006."
Hands Off Cain also highlighted the execution of children. According to the report, in the first nine months of 2008 at least seven minors were executed in Iran.
It said it was the only country in the world in 2008 where the death penalty was used against people less than 18 years of age at the time of the crime.
