On the same day, the state-run daily Javan reported that three men had been hanged. This daily reported, “following persistence from the Judiciary Chief for expeditious trial, the criminal court in Kerman investigated the matter and handed down the sentences, which were later confirmed by the Supreme Court.’
Considering the latest unrests in difference cities of Iran, the executions are used as a pressure apparatus to contain dissent.
A demonstration by thousands of women calling for equal rights in Tehran was recently cracked down by Iranian security forces, which resulted in the arrest of hundreds of women. The fates of many of those arrested are unknown.
