WORLD SHOULD THANK IRAN FOR HIGH EXECUTION RATE, SAYS TEHRAN OFFICIAL

March 7, 2014: The Islamic republic's execution rate, which has soared to ghastly heights since self-described moderate Hassan Rouhani became president last year, should be viewed as a “positive marker of Iranian achievement,” according to the head of Iran’s Judiciary Human Rights Council.  
The world should view Iran’s executions and violent crackdowns as a “great service to humanity,” Mohammad Javad Larijani said this week, speaking at a Human Rights Council meeting.
Larijani said that while the world criticizes Iran’s government for an increased number of executions, it should be understood that the killings are a result of Iran’s aggressive clampdown of drug trafficking. 
In February, the United Nations human rights office called on Iran to halt executions after announcing that just in the first seven weeks of 2014, between 80 and 100 Iranians had been executed for minor crimes, a noticeable spike from months before.  
The UN acknowledged that the majority of these executions were in fact for drug-related offenses, but noted that these charges did not meet international law standards for which the death penalty may be implemented.
The report said a handful of Iranians were executed in secret and at least seven were executed in public this year.
Larijani also accused Western governments and leaders of “involvement with the vast drug networks” and “benefiting from their enormous revenues for political, offensive, and even terrorist activities.”
Rouhani, who took office in August, ran his campaign on promising the Iranian people reforms, specifically emphasizing social and economic improvements.
More than 400 Iranians have been executed only since Rouhani took office, according to the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center. (Sources: FoxNews.com, 07/03/2014)
