Iran public execution by hanging from buses July 19 2011

[Meatpie]

The video provided to Amnesty International was shot on 19 July, and shows the execution by hanging of three men in Azadi Square in the city of Kermanshah. The men had been convicted of rape.

The three men are shown standing on top of buses as guards drape ropes fixed to a bridge overhead around their necks, before a crowd of onlookers including children.

Be on the lookout for a more complete video.
The bridge looks familiar, so this may be a few weeks old.

Here's the longer video:

Seems the only video to get out of that area is shot by people who dont know how to hold a camera.

Thanks for the vids! The bridge looks familiar because there was another execution at the same spot a few weeks ago. I've been trying to find pics of this one... there are one or two boring ones that I haven't shared.

Thanks a lot! Creative usage of the buses...

I still remember the older pics with what looks like this same bridge. But no, the three men in those pics were older and had different clothing.

^ They're around 21, and we can tell that the guy in blue shirt (closest to cam in the vid) is quite good looking. I haven't found any pic except for that crappy small one. Wish I knew Persian. Oh pics, pics, please emerge soon.
