Seven prisoners were reportedly hanged at Qom's Langroud Prison on drug related charges, news agency HRANA reported.
Their report identifies one of the prisoners as Saeed Shokri, 26 years of age.
"The prosecutor of Qom is newly appointed, and these seven executions were his way of spreading fear. Unfortunately, they didn't even allow Mr. Shokri's lawyer to file a request for a retrial. Instead, they ridiculed him and said that he should attend his client's funeral the next day," a source close to Mr. Shokri tells Iran Human Rights.
Iranian official sources, including the Judiciary and the media, have been silent on these seven executions.
