7 Iranians hanged in Esfahan prison
2012-12-21
Seven convicted people were hanged in Iran's Esfahan prison on Wednesday night, Kayhan newspaper reported.

The prosecutor of Esfahan province said that six people of those seven were accused of distribution of drugs, kidnapping and illegal entry. Another man, according to the prosecutor, was accused of illegal entry and rape.

The prosecutor added that all of the hanged men were aged from 25 to 45 years.
The problem, of course, is that for all we know they all may have been political dissidents. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty Int'l haven't yet commented.
