Here are two recent examples of Iran's "religious and cultural heritage."
- On March 4, 2014 a 26 year old Farzaneh Moradi was hanged in the prison of Isfahan. She was convicted of murdering her husband six years ago, who she was forced to marry at the age of 15. (She ultimately denied the charge.) Farzaneh's 10 year old daughter had not seen her mother since she her arrest six years prior to the execution. Her lawyer had not even been informed about the execution.
- On March 2, 2014 Iran executed two gay men for the crime of "perversion" and has sentenced a third individual to death for "insulting the prophet".
