Iran Drug Law Change Could Spare Thousands On Death Row by tinakalu2017: 10:58am On Jan 11, 2018
Thousands of Iranians who have been sentenced to death for drug crimes could be spared following a softening in the country’s law.

Capital punishment has been abolished for some drug offences, and the head of the judiciary has said all cases on death row can be reviewed.

The move is set to be applied retrospectively, meaning some 5,000 prisoners could escape execution.
