EXECUTIONS IN TEHRAN: AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HANGED AT THE EVIN PRISON TODAY (To Be Continued)

Iran Human Rights, January 30: At least five people have been hanged in Tehran’s Evin prison, reported the state-run news agency ISCANEWS. Three others convicted for murder, who were scheduled for execution today, were given the possibility to pay blood money and were not executed.

Iran Human rights reported yesterday about transfer of more than 20 prisoners from the Gohardasht prison west of Tehran, to the Evin prison for execution.

According to our sources, 28 people were transfered yesterday from Gohardasht prison, to the Evin prison for execution. We are investigating about the situation of the other 20.

 

According to several Iranian news agencies, Jamshidi, the speaker of the Iranian judiciary, said that Ayatollah Shahroudi, head of the judiciary, has given order to stop public hangings, unless in special cases. He has also banned the media from publishing pictures from the executions.

It seems that the international attention towards the increasing number of the executions in Iran, has made the Iranian authorities put restrictions on the media coverage of the executions.
