NCRI – A 30 year old women identified as Zahra Nazari was hanged on Monday afternoon, May 7, in the main prison of southern city of Bandar-Abbas.
The judge ordered that she be executed in public. But, other judicial authorities opposed the public execution due to extensive public discontent and pressures on Iran by international humanitarian organizations to stop executions. Hence, most executions in Iran are carried out in secret.
According to reliable reports, 50 other prisoners are on death row in Bandar-Abbas’s main prison. Ten people have been executed in Bandar-Abbass during the past twenty days alone.
