Stop Executions


Here is the post from Stop Torturing us:

Today, Iran executed 29 people which is the biggest
known mass execution event in recent years.

...


In January, Iran hanged 13 people including the mother of two young children who had been found guilty of murdering her husband.

Iran has so far hanged at least 155 in this year. Iran doesn't publish official execution stats but we know so far at least 355 people were put to death row last year and 215 in 2006.

Adultery, armed robbery, apostasy, serious drug trafficking, male homosexuality, murder and rape are punishable by death under Iran's sharia law, practiced since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
