an Iranian man was hanged in Tehran, charged with murder.
The man only identified by his first name Ali-Reza was originally sentenced to be publicly hanged by Judge Javad Esmaeili for the murder of five members of a family some two years ago.
His sentence was subsequently upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court.
Iran’s Judiciary recently announced that Ali-Reza would be hanged inside the notorious Evin prison rather than in public.
