Iran executed at least 7 people including two women. They were executed on Saturday for various crimes. A young man is scheduled to be executed on Monday.

Norway-based human rights organization Iran Human Rights (IHR) has given this information in a statement.

Parveen Mousavi, a 53-year-old woman accused of drug-related charges, was executed in Urmia prison in northwestern Iran, IHR said. 5 men were also hanged in the same prison on the same charge.

According to Iran Human Rights, Parveen Mousavi was imprisoned for four years. He was paid 15 euros to deliver a package to a specified destination saying it contained drugs. In fact, there were 5 kilograms of morphine in that package.

Another woman, 27-year-old Fatima Abdullahi, was executed in Nishapur, eastern Iran. She was accused of murdering her husband.

According to the IHR, 223 people have been executed in Iran so far this year. At least 50 people have been sentenced to death in this month. This trend is boosted by the Persian New Year and Ramadan holidays in April. Since then 115 people including 6 women have been hanged.
