Three men sentenced to die for six cases of kidnapping, robbery and rape were hanged on Tuesday morning in Kerman, a local judiciary official was quoted as saying.
Two other men, who were only identified as Said A. et Nasser Ch., were hanged in the southeastern city of Zahedan for armed kidnapping and "creating a climate of terror in society", ISNA reported.
The executions bring to at least 61 the number of people executed in Iran so far in 2006, according to an AFP tally based on press reports and witnesses.
Capital offences in the Islamic republic include murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, serious drug trafficking, repeated sodomy, adultery or prostitution, and treason and espionage.

so...let other countries deal with their crime their own way. deterence is the best way of getting rid of crime. look at singapore. they might have harsh punishments but they have no crime.

Looks like they have thier law, well in hand, doesnt it?
61 killings and we have that many in Washington DC in a couple of months alone!
The harsher the punishment, the less crime will be committed...It proves it right there!
We are soft on crime, and let the criminals out to do more crime and eventually kill people in the committing of crimes.
Its a fact, that only 10% of the population commit crimes, and they are always repeat offenders. So, if we can locate the 10% then we will have no crime, right? NO, we get them from other Countries like Mexico coming into our borders to set up crime syndicates of thier own.
I wish you well..

I think they are a little hard core, but I bet people will soon learn their lesson!!!! I agree with the hangings of murderers, but adultery, treason, etc. are not woreth a hanging!

I don't thin apostacy, blasphemy, repeated sodomy, adultery or prostitiution should be punishable by death. Can you imagine the number of death sentences here in the U.S. for those things? Half our population would be put to death!
