A woman was executed Thursday morning, September 29, 2016, in the Central Prison of Orumiyeh (northwestern Iran), along with her husband and six other prisoners.
Molouk Noori who had been imprisoned in the women’s ward of Orumiyeh Prison, and her husband, Behnam Pirkuzadegan, were Kurds and resided in Kermanshah. The other six prisoners hanged collectively in the Orumiyeh Central Prison were all Kurds from Orumiyeh.
The number of women executed during Rouhani’s tenure thus amounts to 71.
