Iran Human Rights (IHR); October 13, 2019: Man hanged at the central prison of the Iranian city of Sanandaj, Kurdistan province, last Thursday.
According to IHR sources, Alem Karimi, 50, was hanged at Sanandaj prison on Thursday, October 10, 2019.
He was sentenced to death 10 years ago for murder charges.
Out of the 110 people who were executed in the first half of 2019, 83 were sentenced to qisas (retribution in-kind) for murder.
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.
