Amnesty International brands rush to execute Ruhollah Zam ‘reprehensible’
Iran has executed a dissident journalist, a year after he was seized by the country’s elite Revolutionary Guards in
Iraq and forcibly repatriated to face trial.
Ruhollah Zam, 47, was hanged early on Saturday morning, Iranian state media reported. His family visited him the previous day, but
prison and judicial authorities had not told them or him about the scheduled execution, Amnesty International said.
