Tehran - Two convicted rapists were hanged in Iran on Saturday, the ISNA news agency reported. In November, the men were convicted of having broken into a house in a suburb near Tehran, where they raped a woman in front of her husband and child.
They were hanged at the city's Evin prison after their initial death sentences were confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Murder, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking of quantities in excess of five kilograms are among the crimes punishable by death in Iran.
