Iran executes two men on drug charges in Karaj
Original: Iran executes two men on drug-related charges in Karaj
Iran has executed two men convicted on drug-related charges in the city of Karaj, according to human rights sources reporting from the region. The hangings add to a documented pattern of executions in Iran, where drug offences remain punishable by death. Rights groups have repeatedly criticised the country's use of capital punishment in narcotics cases, arguing the trials fall short of international fair-trial standards.
Why now: Renewed concern over Iran's heavy use of the death penalty, especially in drug cases.
