Iran hangs man who claims he is God

Abdolreza Gharabat. An Iranian man whom claims he is God was hung apostasy. In Iran apostasy, adultery, murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficing are all crime which all punishable by death since the country's 1979 Islamic revolution. Abdolreza Gharabat was has hanged on January 26th 2010, Abdolreza had deceived some people into worshipping him, most of these followers were "young people". It has been calculated that Iran kills about one person every 8 hours since the beginning of 2011. This execution rate comes second to China although it has the most deaths per head of population.

I personally believe that some of these death penalties are not necessary. Yes, these people have done bad things, and yes, they do deserve to be punished, but with an economy such as the Iranian economy ant with a execution rate being so high I don't believe that they should continuously sentence these people to death. If the economy chooses to continue this law to follow the least they could do is to stop making these executions so public and inhuman.
