Iran Hangs Murderer

I think that the public has a right to witness and examine all executions of the state and to ask the reasons why until it receives satisfactory answers. Beware when executions are done behind close doors and no one knows what's going on.

The Australian recently stated:

"Capital offences in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, serious drug trafficking and adultery.

Many executions were held in public last year, but judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi ordered in January that there should be no more public executions without his approval."

Murder, rape, armed robbery, serious drug trafficking and adultery have been considered capital offenses for millenia. The reason that these crimes have increased to unbelievably high proportions in the United States is because those who profit from the prison industry would have us believe that the system of justice in this country is the kindest and the wisest in the world. Indeed it is if you are heavily invested in the system. But, if you are one of the commoners you will suffer with high crime.
