Iran Human Rights (IHR); February 16, 2020: A death-row prisoner hanged at Isfahan prison on February 13, 2020.
According to IHR sources, death-row prisoner Hassan Saraei (36) was hanged on Thursday, February 13, 2020, at Isfahan prison. “He was sentenced to death for murdering his friend four years ago,” a well-informed source told IHR.

According to the Iranian Islamic Penal Code (IPC) murder is punishable by qisas which means “retribution in kind” or retaliation.
