A 45 year old woman has been hanged for drug smuggling in Iran. Media reports say the woman Zahra Bahrami who had Iranian and Dutch nationality was executed for smuggling and selling cocaine. Bahrami's execution is the latest in a slew of hangings carried out by the Islamic republic in January. Her execution takes the total number of people hanged in Iran so far this year to 66. Bahrami was reportedly arrested in December 2009 after she joined a protest against the government while visiting relatives in the Islamic republic.
