In a report today, Quds state-run daily identified the young man as Mohsen Najmi who was alleged to have killed another man.
Since the appointment of Ahmadinejad as the mullahs’ president some 280 people have either been executed or sentenced to death. The figure is based on press reports in Iran but the actual number is feared to be higher due to secret executions which are never reported.
The high number of executions in Iran has been a matter of grave concern for international human rights bodies and it is continued unabated.
