DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iranian authorities have unleashed an “execution binge” with an average rate of one person hanged every eight hours since the beginning of the year, a rights group monitoring the Islamic Republic said Sunday. The New York-based International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said at least 47 prisoners have been hanged since Jan. 1, including a reported Kurdish activist accused of fighting against the state. Most of the others executed were convicted of violent crimes such as murder.
