DRUG TRAFFICKERS ON DEATH ROW
Three hundred drug traffickers are on death row in Iran, the judiciary
said, reflecting Tehran's hard line on narcotics which has added to
international concerns over its extensive use of capital punishment.
"For 300 drug-related convicts, including those who were in possession
of at least 30 grams of heroin, execution verdicts have been issued,"
Sharq daily quoted Tehran prosecutor-general Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi
as saying Monday.
