In early 2011, a man in gray prison overalls was publicly hanged from a truck-mounted crane on a street in Karaj, Iran. Police cordoned off the area as a large crowd gathered and press video cameras recorded the execution.

The man was hoisted by rope under floodlights during the night and remained suspended as daylight arrived. Police later lowered his body onto the bed of a truck, placed it in a black bag and carried it away. The setting included apartment blocks and bare winter trees.

Executed for dressing like a chav?

[Wolf]

Efficient. Hung him and lowered him straight into the body bag.

Socks with his sandals. Good reason to be hung.

Jan 27 2011 Sharia law, in the version used by the Islamic Republic of Iran, provides for the death penalty for homicide, robbery, rape, blasphemy, apostasy, conspiracy against the government, adultery , prostitution, homosexuality, and also for drug-related offenses.

In addition, the Iranian Islamic law provides for lashes if sex before marriage, whith sticks in case of alcohol consumption and amputation of hands and feet for thieves.

According to this law the parents of the victim of a crime can seek compensation in money and pardon the offender or otherwise permit the execution of the sentence takes place. The "blood money" of a woman is half that of a man.

Requires that parents or children of a victim request the death penalty against the offender for it to be executed.

This is a serial killer sentenced to death for rape and murder, executed at dawn in a public place in the province of Alborz in the north-west of Tehran.

must be a terrifying too know exactly when you are going to die and have the time to think about it..ever wonder what might go through your mind? (apart from the end of a rope)..you think you might know what would, but would it be what you think it would?
