Five drug smugglers hanged in Iran

Monday, May 20, 2002 - 2002 IranMania.com

TEHRAN, May 20 (AFP) - Five drug smugglers were

hanged early Monday in a prison in Iran's holy Shiite Muslim city of Mashhad, the
Keyhan afternoon paper reported.

"The smugglers had been arrested early this month in clashes with police which left
seven traffickers dead, as they were carrying a 500-kilo morphine convoy from the
northeastern Khorasan province," the paper said.

The were sentenced to death by the Islamic revolutionary court in Mashhad.

Iran's "eye for an eye" law, in force since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, stipulates
capital punishment for rape, stealing weapons, drug trafficking and murder, but
provides for sentences to be commuted to a jail term if the family of the victim offers
a pardon.
