Iran Executions: Man Hanged at Ardabil Prison

Meisam Saber, 27, was convicted to qisas (retribution in kind) on a murder charge in 2013. His execution was carried out on the morning on Sunday, October 22, 2018.  

According to HRANA, Meisam Saber was transferred to the solitary confinement a day prior to the execution.

The Iranian media outlets have not published news related to the aforementioned execution so far.
According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of a classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
