Iran executes two men on drug charges in Karaj
Original: Iran executes two men on drug-related charges in Karaj
Iran has executed two men on drug-related charges at a prison in Karaj, according to human rights monitors. The Kurdistan Human Rights network reported the hangings, adding to a documented pattern of executions for narcotics offences in Iran, which rights groups say fall short of fair-trial standards and are frequently carried out without international attention.
Why now: Rights groups are drawing attention to Iran's continued use of the death penalty for drug offences
