THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch government froze official contacts with Iran on Saturday to protest the hanging of a Dutch-Iranian woman, the Foreign Ministry said.

Iranian Ambassador Gharib Abadi was informed of the sanctions after he confirmed reports that Zahra Bahrami, 45, was executed Saturday. Iranian state television reported Bahrami was hanged for possessing and selling drugs.
