Col. Qaizizadeh told a press conference in Kerman that the prisoners soon will face gallows since their death sentences have been upheld by the mullahs' Supreme Court.

"In the initial investigations by the SSF, seventeen individuals were suspected of commuting the crime. However, it is certain that seven were eventually convicted and since two are still at large five others will be soon hanged," Qazizadeh added.

The crime allegedly took place in Mohiabad Township near Kerman.   

In past week alone the medieval regime ruling Iran hanged at least 11 prisoners across the country.
