 Tehran, Iran, Jun. 20 - Authorities executed a 40-year-old man in public in southern Iran, state media reported on Wednesday.
The execution was carried in public in the city of Shiraz, the state-run newspaper Etemaad wrote.
The man, identified only by his first name Nasrollah, was accused of drug trafficking.
