Fars said the rape was committed last year. Murder, adultery, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and apostasy -- the renouncing of religion, -- are all punishable by death under sharia, Islamic law. Rights groups say Iran has one of the highest execution rates in the world. New York-based Human Rights Watch said last week Iran should issue a moratorium on capital punishment. Thursday Iran hanged two men convicted of "moharebeh" in the wake of unrest that erupted after last year's disputed presidential re-election of hardliner President Mahmoud Ahmadeinejad.
