Three Men Hanged for Drug Offences in Zanjan, Iran
Original: Article: Three Men Hanged for Drug Offences in Zanjan
Iranian authorities have executed three men at Zanjan prison after convicting them of drug-related offences, according to reports from a rights monitoring group. The executions add to a sharp rise in capital punishment in Iran, where hangings for drug charges have drawn repeated criticism from the United Nations and human rights organisations, which argue many cases fall short of fair-trial standards.
Why now: Iran's surge in executions, particularly for drug offences, is drawing growing international condemnation.
