According to Norway-based Iran Human Rights Organization, 42-year-old Behzad Bidrang, a father of two from Ajab Shir in East Azerbaijan province, was executed in Qazvin Central Prison on March 14.
Bidrang was arrested for drug-related charges two years ago and sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.
