Iran: 2 men hanged in Zahedan

2 men were hanged in the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan yesterday on the morning of June 6, reported the Iranian daily Kayhan.

The men who were identified as "Abdolhamid Rigi" and "Reza GhalandarZahi", were convicted of "moharebeh" (at war with God, a term used for those involved in struggle against the authorities) and being members of the Baluchi group of Abdolmalek Rigi.

On May 30, 3 men were hanged in public in Zahedan, convicted of belonging to the same group for planning of the recent Zahedan bombing, less than 2 days after the bombing.

The group later denied that these 3 had any connection to the group.
