Prisoner hanged in Tabriz
Iran Human Rights (Jul 3, 2018): A prisoner was executed at Tabriz Central Prison on murder charges.
According to a close source, on the morning of Tuesday, July 3, a prisoner was executed at Tabriz Central Prison.
The prisoner, charged with murder, was identified as Mohammad Aali, 52, from a village near Tabriz.
The prisoner, having been in prison for five years, was transferred to the solitary confinement from ward 9 of Tabriz Central Prison on Monday.
The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by the state-run media so far.
According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were implemented due to murder charges.
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.
