Tehran says Dutch woman hanged for smuggling drugs - Taipei Times: "Iran yesterday hanged an Iranian-Dutch woman for drug smuggling after initially arresting her for anti-government protests, the Tehran prosecutor’s office said.
Zahra Bahrami’s execution takes the total number of people hanged in Iran so far this year to 66 — on average more than two a day — according to an Agence-France Presse tally based on media reports.
The Netherlands summoned Iran’s ambassador in the wake of the hanging, the Dutch foreign ministry said.
“A drug trafficker named Zahra Bahrami, daughter of Ali, was hanged early on Saturday morning after she was convicted of selling and possessing drugs,” the Tehran prosecutor’s office said."
