Iran's state television reported that 29 people convicted of murder, drug trafficking and other crimes have been hanged in Tehran's Evin Prison.
It says the convicts included those found guilty of murder, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking.
The hangings were carried out after the death verdicts were approved by the country's Supreme Court.
