Before being executed, an Iranian man spreads a message of peace and victory.

 

36-year-old Nader Haghighat Naseri, who was hanged in public in November 2014, had one message for those watching his execution in Mashhad, Iran: triumph and peace.

For the purpose of comparison, throughout the same era, 504 persons in the US had received death sentences.
