    UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak labelled the Iranian regime as \u201cbarbaric\u201d earlier today, just hours after it emerged that British national Alireza Akbari was executed in Tehran.<\/p>\n

    But most don't know the full extent of Iran's brutal and horrific execution and torture methods, of which Mr Akbari \u2013 formerly the country's defence minister – had hinted of suffering from since he was arrested in 2019 under charges of spying for the UK.<\/p>\n

    According to local news outlet Mizan, Mr Akbari was barbarically hanged after being forced into confession to the crime on camera.<\/p>\n

    It has been estimated by human rights' groups that, since the start of 2022, around 500 people have been killed by Iran's leadership \u2013 second only to China.<\/p>\n

    Hangings are either done in public or private, and are inflicted on children as young as 12, with the body horrifyingly left to dangle for hours.<\/p>\n

    Hangings can take place on a variety of different structures \u2013 not just the traditional gallows, which is bad enough.<\/p>\n

    Images have come out of the country in recent years of hangings taking place on building cranes, lampposts and bridges.<\/p>\n

    Some of those hanged go through horrific torture before the final moment.<\/p>\n

    According to several reports, torture includes electric shock treatment, slicing off fingers, and even tongues being chopped off.<\/p>\n
