Iran: Have Rope Will Travel


In Iran at least nine men convicted for rape kidnapping and armed robbery have been hanged. Seven were strung up publicly in two separate locations in the city of Mashhad while two others danced the Devils Hornpipe at the end of a rope in Iran's southeast.

Iranian media has reported that police recently arrested dozens of drug addicts, smugglers, rapists and murderers during a crackdown on crime and immoral behaviour. Mashhad chief prosecutor Gholam Hossein Esmaeeli said a group of five were convicted of rape, kidnapping, theft and committing indecent acts.

Two others were young males aged 24 and had abducted a woman two years ago where, after stealing her belongings they raped her he said. Iranian television showed the five animals corpses swinging from the gallows under a banner saying "Implementing justice by elevating security". The scene showed huge crowds of spectators at the neck tie party held back by fences and a police cordon. Last week 12 cons were hanged simultaneously in Tehran's Evin prison.

They don't fuck about do they.

If we still had anything like a functioning justice system in what used to be our great nation we would be stringing this type of filth up ourselves and come the great and glorious day we will be again....
