Iran: Woman Hanged at Mahabad Prison

Iran Human Rights (IHR); July 18, 2019: A woman was hanged at Mahabad prison on Tuesday.

According to IHR sources, a woman was hanged at Mahabad prison on Tuesday, July 16, for murder charges. She is identified by IHR sources as Maliheh Salehian, from a village near the Iranian city of Miandoab.

“Her execution was carried out with strict security measures. It is possible that the murder was related to a security case,” the source said. 

At least 110 people were executed in Iran in the first half of 2019; Only 37 of the executions have been announced by authorities or Iranian media. Iran Human Rights (IHR) could confirm 73 more through its sources. IHR only reports the unannounced executions if it could confirm those with two separate credible sources. Therefore, the actual number of executions may be even higher than reported.
