NCRI – Three prisoners convicted of drug trafficking have been hanged at a prison in city of Bam, reports from Iran have revealed.
Another 11 men have been transferred to another location in Qezelhesar Prison, in Karaj, for imminent execution and they have been deprived of all visits before the death sentences are carried out.
They are among thousands of prisoners on death row in Iran, where 30 inmates were hanged in the past two weeks alone, including six in public in Shiraz on April 16.
The soaring execution rate comes as panicking rulers try to suppress mounting public anger at poverty, unemployment and food shortages ahead of the June presidential election.
