Iran: 5 prisoners including a woman executed in Zahedan

                      
At dawn today, Saturday December 27, 2014 five prisoners including a woman were hanged in Zahedan prison, south of Iran. One of the executed prisoners, Baba-ali Kakaei, 41, shop owner, married with two daughters was a low level merchant who according to his family made money off buying fabrics and material from border towns, and selling them to shop owners in Tehran. 
According to a report, he was stopped at one check point during one of his business trips and asked for bribe money, but since he couldn’t come up with that money, he was arrested and imprisoned and years later was charged with selling narcotics and hanged today. 
The man who had asked for bribe money is called Bameri, a judge in this province and the money he had requested from the family was 600 million Rials ($240,000 official rate of exchange). The poverty stricken family could not come up with this money which resulted in the man’s death. 
Bameri has ordered most of the hangings and executions in this province. 
Two other executed prisoners are Bahram Balouchi and Mohammad Paseban who are accuse of acting against God, an accusation which cannot be found in any legal book, except the mullahs’ constitution. The phone lined to the prison was all cut off for 24 hours during the executions.
