Iran Executions: Prisoner Hanged in Zahedan

Iran Human Rights -A prisoner was executed at Zahedan Central Prison on murder charges.

According to a close source, on the morning of Thursday, August 2, a prisoner was hanged at Zahedan Central Prison. The prisoner, sentenced to death on murder charges, was identified as Miran Baluchi, son of Mohtaj, from Nik-Shahr.

The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by the state-run media so far.

According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of a classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
