Iran hanged five men convicted of gang-raping a woman in the north-western city of Marand last year, reports said.
The men were executed after their sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court, the judiciary's Mizan news reported, citing Marand's public prosecutor.
“They were found guilty of kidnapping and gang-raping a woman in East Azerbaijan province after the victim reported her ordeal to the city prosecutor.”
Last month, Iran executed three men found guilty of raping women after luring them to a fake cosmetic clinic and injecting them with an anaesthetic.
The Islamic Republic of Iran was founded after the 1979 overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty (last shah of Iran) by the Islamic Revolution, and its legal code is based on Islamic law or sharia.
