Three men were publicly executed in the holy city of Qom

Iran hanged five convicted drug smugglers on Wednesday, Iranian media reported, the latest in a series of executions since authorities launched a crackdown on "immoral behaviour" last year.
Three men were publicly executed in the holy city of Qom, south of the capital Tehran, the official IRNA news agency said.
Two others were hanged in the southeastern city of Zahedan in Sistan-Baluchestan province, notorious for clashes between security forces and smugglers, the state broadcaster reported.
"The death sentence for these (three) people was issued by Qom's Islamic revolutionary court ... and was carried out this morning," Qom judiciary official Hoda Tarshizi said.
"These criminals had a background in drug smuggling and had served time in jail but they continued with their criminal activities after they were released," she said.
