Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran is reporting yet another public hanging in that country. For those of you who think they are exaggerating to drum up support… well, I cannot verify the specifics of this case, but you might want to have a look at this… or to scan down at this link to “Execution in the Islamic Republic” for an interesting photo montage.
