Iran Executions: Man Hanged at Gorgan Prison

According to HRANA, on the early morning of June 9, Hashem Amiri, 47, was executed at the northern Iranian city of Gorgan’s prison. He was a father of three kids.

“Hashem Amiri was a worker at a shopping centre four years ago. At that time, he fought with a shop owner and hit his head with a rod. The shop owner was killed and Hashem was sentenced to death,” a well-informed source said.

The aforementioned execution has not been announced by Iranian authorities or media so far.

There is a lack of a classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
