    Rapists Put To Death In Latest Public Hangings

    Two men convicted of rape and kidnapping were hanged in public , Thursday February 13, in the city of Shiraz.

    One of the executed men had been convicted of the kidnapping, rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Fars Penal Court and sentenced to death.

    The other convict was arrested in December of 2008 for kidnapping and raping a number of victims in Shiraz.

    Amnesty International has been highly critical of the rising rate of executions in Iran, especially denouncing the practice of public hangings.

    Amnesty International reports that in 2013, 401 people were hanged in Iran and 53 of those hangings were in public.

    The head of Iran’s Judiciary, Sadegh Larijani, has supported the public hangings, saying they are carried out in special cases in accordance with the country’s criminal law, Islamic law and judicial verdicts.

    A prisoner hanged in Ardebil

    The Iranian regime hanged a prisoner in a prison on Monday in northwestern city of Ardebil , state-run Fars News Agency reported.

    The Iranian regime's judiciary in the city did not identify the victim who had been imprisoned on drug related charges.

    The rate of hangings has increased sharply over last year, since Hassan Rouhani, the regime's new president has taken office.

    In a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said between 500 and 625 people were executed last year, including 57 in public. More than 40 people were executed during the first half of January 2014, he said.

    "The new government has not changed its approach regarding the application of the death penalty and seems to have followed the practice of previous administrations, which relied heavily on the death penalty to combat crime," Ban said.
