Mohammad Ali Surai, Yahya Naseri, Nazem Barihi, Abdolemam Zaeri and Abdolzahra Helichi, were all sentenced to death by a revolutionary court in Ahvaz, the hardline Kayhan newspaper quoted a judiciary official as saying on Sunday.
The paper said the convictions and sentencing were upheld by the Supreme Court.
It did not say when the executions would be carried out, nor which specific bombings the group were linked to. Two Arab separatists have already been hanged over attacks in October 2005, although a further attack took place in January."
With the provision that these men are indeed guilty of the bombing and killing of innocent civilans, this is the best way to administer justice. No panzying around for 20 years, and then putting them to sleep, and then poisening them one at a time. No, instead you demonstrate what capital punishment really is, and hang the 6 guilty men in public.
We should do this in the US.

er.. article says five not six
And yes, I think that they are actually doing the right thing here. I wish we would... or at least administer the drug sooner and to more people.
I would like to see swift justice too but realizing that the prosecution, jury, and judge are humans as well, swift justice is ideal but may not be possible due to human errors. I mean we have seen over zealous prosecutors or detectives misleading or lying to get a conviction. In those cases, swift justice would be killing innocent people. On the other hand, our system gives too much options and appeals to the convicted mostly due to those defending attorneys looking for loopholes rather than the truth.
I'm sorry. 5, not 6.
