Man Hanged in Tabriz Over Drug Offences
Original: Article: Shahin Babayi Hanged for Drug Offences in Tabriz
Shahin Babayi has been executed by hanging in Tabriz, Iran, after being convicted of drug-related offences, according to the rights group Iran Human Rights. The group has long campaigned against Iran's use of the death penalty for narcotics crimes, arguing such executions violate international law. Rights advocates frequently raise these cases to pressure Tehran over its expanding use of executions.
Why now: Iran's continued execution of prisoners for drug offences is drawing renewed human rights scrutiny.
