Iran's Stringent Crackdown: Executions and Justice Served
Iran executed three men convicted of raping women they had lured to a fake cosmetic surgery clinic, where they were injected with anesthetic drugs. The men were found guilty of conspiring in 12 cases of sexual assault and were hanged in Bandar Abbas prison. One of the men, a medical assistant, lured victims with false advertisements for cosmetic procedures, while the other two convicts, both nurses, were hanged for rape and drug theft charges. Iran has one of the highest execution rates globally, second only to China.
