Mohammed Bijeh - Blog Posts

In 2004, Mohammed Bijeh assaulted and killed as many as 16 boys in Iran, ranging from 8-years-old to 15-years-old. He would lure the boys out to the desert under the pretense of taking them hunting. Once here, he would then assault them and bludgeon them to death before burying their bodies in shallow graves. He received 16 death sentences and 100 lashes for the assaults.

On 16 March, 2005, Bijeh was handcuffed to a pole where he received those lashings. The crowd booed and threw rocks at him and at one point during the public execution, the brother of one of his victims broke out of the crowd and stabbed him in the back.

Following this, the mother of one of his victims placed a noose around his neck and he was hoisted up in the air by a crane, ending his life.
