a follower of the Baha'i faith was executed after his daughter complained he had raped her, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported. Baha'is say hundreds of their followers have been jailed and executed since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. The government denies it has detained or executed people for their religion. Fars gave no details of court proceedings and did not make clear when the man, identified as Houshang Khodadad, was hanged. "He ... was imprisoned and executed in Torbat-e Heydarieh (in eastern Iran) after his daughter complained he had raped her," the news agency said, adding that charges included rape and incest.
