MAN TO FACE DEATH BY HANGING TWICE AFTER SURVIVING FIRST EXECUTION

Death penalty opponents pleaded with Iran on Thursday to spare a convicted drug felon who survived a hanging and was sent from the morgue to a hospital to recuperate so he could be re-hanged! It appeared to be the first time that the judicial authorities in Iran, one of the worlds top users of the death penalty, twice ordered a hanging carried out. Alizera, male 37 broke record after surviving death by hanging.The horrific prospect of this man facing a second hanging, after having gone through the whole ordeal already once, merely underlines the cruelty and inhumanity of the death penalty,” said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Program. the man spent 12 minutes dangling in a noose suspended from a crane in a prison in the northeast city of Bojnurd last week, and a physician declared him dead. But the next day the staff at the prison morgue discovered he was still breathing as the family was en route to collect his body. The news accounts said the presiding judge ordered him hospitalized for re-hanging “once medical staff confirm his health condition is good enough.” hopes are on a scale, hopefully Alizera may be pardoned After appeal by amnesty international.
