 Tehran, Iran,
Apr. 20 – Iranian authorities hanged 10 men in Tehran’s notorious Evin
Prison on various charges including murder.
The 10 individuals were all hanged in the early hours of Wednesday, the
state-run news agency Fars
reported.
The report said that the sentences were carried out after they were upheld by
Iran’s
State Supreme Court.
Evin Prison was built by the Shah’s regime as a
modern security prison to house political dissidents, but it became the
Islamic Republic’s most dreaded gulag and the site of numerous political
executions.
