Iranian authorities have executed four people who had been convicted of selling contaminated bootleg alcohol that fatally poisoned seventeen people last year.
The death penalty against four defendants in the case of poisoning caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages was carried out at Karaj central prison.
The defendants had been sentenced to death in September 2023 for selling the contaminated alcohol that killed at least seventeen people and put more than one hundred and ninety others into hospital in the province of Alborz, west of Tehran.
Iran carries out the highest number of executions a year after the People’s Republic of China, according to human rights groups including Amnesty International.
