Iran: confessions videotaped before executions


29 men were executed by hanging in Tehran's Evine prison at 5:00 am on July 27th.

Short interviews of 11 of the convicts were conducted a few minutes prior to the executions and the resulting video was later broadcast on Iran's main news channel.

The convicts spoke vaguely about their crimes and answered mechanically: "I deserve my sentence. It rewards a life of crime".
