Iranian regime’s henchmen hanged a 24-year-old man in public on Sunday in the northern city of Gaemshahr, state-run daily Kayhan reported today. The prisoner, who was identified by his initial as A. B., was hanged near Velayat Square in the city.
Meanwhile, two other prisoners were hanged in Hamedan’s prison, northwestern Iran, on Saturday, the state-run website ISCANEWS reported on November 14. They were identified by their first name as Habib, 21, and Mohammad who was serving his obligatory national military training at the time of his arrest.
The latest public hanging took place against a directive issued in February 2008, where the speaker of the Iranian regime’s judiciary announced a moratorium on public hangings. Following the nationwide uprising in the country, the Iranian regime is increasingly using death sentences to intimidate the society, particularly young people, and to this end, barbaric practice of public hanging has been resumed.
