 Tehran, Iran,
A man was publicly hanged in the town of Qazvin, west of the Iranian capital Tehran, a state-run
daily reported on Tuesday.
The unnamed man was accused of running a brothel and producing pornographic
videos along with his wife, the daily Iran Newspaper wrote.
The couple had both been sentenced to 10 years in prison, five years in
exile, 80 lashes and execution for running the prostitution ring and being
found in possession of alcohol, drugs, and illicit CDs.
The man’s sentence was carried out in front of the judge that sentenced him
in one of the town’s squares on Monday morning, while his wife had been
executed in February 2004, the report said.
