Iran minister says no need to re-hang convict

An Iranian death row convict who survived a hanging will not face another death sentence, Iran's justice minister has said.
The country's semi-official ISNA news agency quoted justice minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi as saying there is "no need for re-execution" of the 37-year-old man convicted of smuggling drugs, identified only by his first name, Alireza.
Iranian media reported that Alireza was hanged for 12 minutes earlier this month after which he was declared dead.
However, family members who went to collect Alireza's body at the prison mortuary in the city of Bojnourd a day later discovered that he was still breathing.
The convict was then moved to a hospital where he reportedly slipped into a coma while being kept under surveillance by police.
His case prompted debate, with some legal experts arguing he should be hanged again.
Last week Amnesty International urged Iran to spare Alireza's life.
Drug smuggling is one of a number of crimes that can be punished by capital punishment in Iran.

If the noose isn't tied right, according to height and weight, the neck wont break. This is incredibly uncomfortable/painful as you are being slowly asphyxiated.

So I take it they're afraid that a kilo of crank will interfere with their smack trade?

I'm going to take it as a glimmer of mercy being shown in Iran, which would be nice. Call me an optimist, but I hope he pulls through and goes on to lead a regular life after this.

Actually the way they hang people in Iran is done with industrial cranes. I get the idea that they lift the condemned or morituri is simply lifted from his neck with a noose around the neck. I could be wrong, though.

I can't believe some countries still hang people for drugs. In the US we have a much more human approach, we just put them in a cage with rapists and murderers for life...

I know you were being sarcastic but I wanted to point out that the United States can execute an individual for trafficking very large amounts of heroin, pcp, cocaine, mehamphetamine, lsd and marijuana along with a few others. We do not put it into practice but it is technically a law.

We have an idiotic capital punishment system ourselves. Read the story of Eddie Slovik if you want to hear a screwed up story.
