Iran Executions: Man Hanged at Qazvin
Central Prison
اعدام یک زندانی در زندان مرکزی قزوین
October 6, 2018
Iran Human Rights; October 6, 2018: A
prisoner was executed on October 2, at Qazvin Central Prison on murder
charges.
According to IHR sources, on the morning
of Tuesday, October 2, Hamed Valizadeh was hanged at Qazvin Central Prison
(also called Chubin Dar). He was from Abhar city and was 38 years old at the
time of the execution.
Hamed was arrested in January 2014 for
murdering a person and convicted to qisas (retribution in kind) at Qazvin
public court. According to the IHR sources he was involved in an
honour killing case.
The Iranian media outlets have not
published news related to the aforementioned execution so far.
According to Iran Human Rights annual
report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were
implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of a classification of
murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind
of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
