Iran has hanged two men convicted of drug trafficking in the southern
town of Roodan in Hormozgan province, the student Isna news agency
reported yesterday.

The report identified the men as Afghan Zaer H, 30, found guilty of
smuggling two kilos of heroin, and Iranian Majid S, convicted of
trafficking 44 kilos of opium and 97 kilos of cannabis.

The hangings brought to at least 52 the number of executions carried out
in Iran so far this year. At least 177 people were executed in 2006,
according to an Amnesty International report.

Capital offences in the Islamic republic include murder, rape, armed
