A young man was reportedly hanged at Jiroft Prison (Kerman province, southern Iran) on murder charges, according to a report by the Iranian state-run news agency Jaam-e Jam.
The report claims the young man was sentenced to death for the murder of his step parents.
The prosecutor's office and the revolutionary court in Jiroft have identified the prisoner only by the initials "M.Sh."
Although Iranian official sources have described the prisoner as a young man, they have not released his exact age. It is not clear whether the prisoner received a fair trial or had access to a lawyer.
