Where's the outrage?
Interesting how international human rights activists have nothing to say about these public executions.
If you're so inclined, you can see a series of photos documenting the last moments of these men before they're hoisted aloft by cranes and allowed to strangle at the end of their blue nylon nooses, as crowds watch.
The accompanying article explained:
صبح امروز و در ملاعام
عاملان ترور قاضي مقدس به دار مجازات آويخته شدند
خبرگزاري فارس: دو تن از عاملان ترور شهيد حسن مقدس، معاون دادستان تهران و سرپرست دادسراي ارشاد، ساعت 9:40 صبح امروز مصادف با سالروز شهادت وي در مقابل دادسراي ارشاد و در ملا عام به دار مجازات آويخته شدند.*
It's not as exciting as the stoning last month of a man accused of adultery, but the Iranians can't always provide extreme executions.
*I find it rather interesting that the English version of the site doesn't happen to have any links to this story. Are they trying to make it more difficult for the West to track these kind of stories down in English?
