Iran: Man Hanged in Public in Khandab City

According to Iran Online, on the morning of Tuesday, July 16, a man was hanged in public in the Iranian city of Khandab. The Iranian media outlet has not mentioned the name of the prisoner.

It is only mentioned that he was 60 at the time of the execution. He killed his wife and three people from her relatives by a firearm on March 27, 2019. 

At least 110 people were executed in Iran in the first half of 2019; Only 37 of the executions have been announced by authorities or Iranian media. Iran Human Rights (IHR) could confirm 73 more through its sources. IHR only reports the unannounced executions if it could confirm those with two separate credible sources. Therefore, the actual number of executions may be even higher than reported.
