NCRI – A 13 year old boy who hanged himself with a rope, died after being transferred to the hospital in the city of Amol, according to a report by the governorate of this northern Iranian city.
Last week, Mahmoud Khodadoust, an official of Iranian Legal Medicine Organization, said: “Last year, we had 3640 suspect suicide deaths in the country. 2530 were male and 1110 were female.”
Ahmadi Moghadam, commander of State Security Forces (SSF), had previously stated that the statistics for suicides in Iran is twice the number of murders. The state-run Sharq daily reported: Every day in Iran from 5 to 10 people commit suicide.
At the same time, a factor that aids suicide is the fact that the material needed for suicide is handy. Beside rope which is the most common tool for committing suicide, cyanide and medicines are easily accessible.
According to data, men differ from women in their choice of suicide methods in Iran. Iranian men usually hang themselves or use a lethal injection, while women tend to overdose on drugs or burn themselves to death.
Among the principal reasons for committing suicide in Iran are poverty, unemployment, addiction and psychological problems caused by mullahs’ regime excessive pressure brought to bear on Iranian people.
