IRAN: TWO PRISONERS HANGED IN KARAJ

May 11, 2016: Two prisoners with murder charges were reportedly hanged at Karaj's Rajai Shahr Prison (northern Iran).
One of the prisoners has been identified as Reza Cheshmenour, the identity of the other prisoner is not known at this time. 
According to close sources, these two prisoners were among 12 who were transferred to solitary confinement at this prison on Saturday May 7 in preparation for their executions.
The other 10 prisoners were returned to their cells after they received an extension on their execution order or received consent for a suspension by the plaintiffs on their case files, say close sources.
Iranian official sources, including state-run media and the Judiciary, have been silent on these two executions. (Sources: Iran Human Rights, 11/05/2016)
