A woman who is Dutch and Iranian was put to death by hanging for smuggling drugs into Iran. The Netherlands are not speaking with Iran right now and believe the hanging was a barbic act and the punishment did not fit the crime. She was also given 70 lashes and had to pay a fine for her crimes. She was not able to see the Dutch consular and Dutch officials were not allowed at her trial ,because Iran did not recognize her citizenship as a Dutch.
