Iran Announces 3rd Public Execution Sentence In Less Than A Month
An Iranian official says a person has been sentenced to be executed in public, the 3rd such penalty to be handed down in the country in less than a month.
The prosecutor in the western city of Khorramabad announced that a defendant was sentenced Sunday to be hanged in public for the alleged killing of a police officer in December 2021, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
The official, Darioush Shahounvand, didn’t disclose the name of the person sentenced.
In late March (see HoC 28/03/2022) a court in the central province of Esfahan sentenced two other people to be publicly executed for the killing a police officer in November 2021.
Iran had halted public executions for about a year and a half due to Covid-19 restrictions.
