Iranian Judiciary bans public executions and media coverage of the execution

According to the official Iranian news agency IRNA, 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.
