Shahin Babayi Hanged for Drug Offences in Tabriz

Original: Article: Shahin Babayi Hanged for Drug Offences in Tabriz

Shahin Babayi was executed by hanging in Tabriz, Iran, after being convicted on drug-related charges, according to Iran Human Rights. The group reports the execution as part of a continuing series of drug offence executions in the country, which rights organisations have repeatedly criticised, arguing that drug laws carry disproportionate death penalties and that trials often fall short of fair-trial standards.

Why now: Iran's executions for drug offences are drawing renewed human rights criticism, making each reported case a topic of concern.
