Published on FRANCE 24 (http://www.france24.com/en) Iran hangs 12 people, five of them in public By blade Created 26/05/2011 - 18:00 Iran has hanged 12 men for offences including murder, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking, including five who were executed in public, news agency reports and a legal source said on Thursday. The official IRNA news agency said "serial killer" Mehdi Faraji, convicted of murdering five middle-aged women who boarded his minibus, was hanged in public in the city of Qazvin, northwest of the capital Tehran, on Thursday. Two more men, Hamid Ranjbar and Hamid Reza Baqeri, were also hanged in public after being convicted of armed robbery and abduction. They were executed in the southern city of Shiraz. Another two, Masoud Dehqan and Mehdi Alipour, were hanged in public in the same city after being found guilty of rape, the IRNA report added. In addition, two men convicted of drug trafficking were hanged on Thursday in a prison in the northern city of Sari, IRNA reported, quoting the city's prosecutor Asadollah Jafari. The report did not name the convicts. Also, four men convicted of drug smuggling were sent to the gallows in a prison in the central city of Yasouj, IRNA cited a local prosecution official as saying, but did not name the men. Another man, meanwhile, was hanged on Monday for drug smuggling in the city prison of Behbahan in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, the provincial justice department said on its website. It gave no other details. The latest hangings bring to 143 the number of executions reported in Iran so far in 2011, according to an AFP count based on media and official reports. Iranian media reported 179 hangings last year. But international human rights groups say the actual number was much higher, making the Islamic republic second only to China in the number of people it put to death. Iran says the death penalty is essential to maintain law and order, and that it is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings. * AFP * Mid-East Source URL: http://www.france24.com/en/20110526-iran-hangs-12-people-five-them-public ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
