Iran Executions: A Prisoner Executed in Zanjan

According to a close source, on the morning of Tuesday, February 13, a prisoner was hanged at Zanjan Central Prison. The prisoner, identified as Majid Keykavusi from Marand, was sentenced to death on murder charges.
An anonymous source told Iran Human Rights, "In 2012, Majid Keykavusi got into a fight with someone who owed him 9 million Tomans and he accidentally kills the debtor."
The prisoner was transferred to Zanjan Central Prison 20 days ago to be executed.
The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by the state-run media so far.
According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 142 of the 530 execution sentences in 2016 were implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of any classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for all types of the murder, regardless of intensity and intent.
