Public hanging in Iran

09 May 2007 :

a 30 year old women identified as Zahra Nazari was hanged in the main prison of Iran's southern city of Bandar-Abbas.
While the judge ordered that she be executed in public, other judicial authorities opposed the public execution due to extensive public discontent and pressures on Iran by international humanitarian organizations to stop executions.
For these reasons, most executions in Iran are carried out in secret. According to reliable reports, 50 other prisoners are on death row in Bandar-Abbas's main prison. Ten people have been executed in Bandar-Abbass during the past twenty days alone.
