German customs officials said on April 2 that they have halted a shipment to Iran of a general anesthetic drug that also is used to execute people by lethal injection. 



The shipment of 2.5 kilograms of sodium thiopental had not received export clearance as required by law.



Sodium thiopental is the first of three components used on death-row convicts to induce coma and death.



The European Union, which opposes the death penalty, has restricted its export.



Amnesty International has reported a sharp rise in executions in Iran during 2011.



More than 600 reported executions there last year included nearly 300 credible reports of "secret" executions.

Using these general anesthetic medicines such as sodium thiopenthal is the stuff they use to kill people like Omid Reza Mirsayafi and Zahra KAzemi and other political prisoners who have died 'accidentally' or through 'natural causes' in the IR prisons. Make no mistake the IR will pay in blood for the lives of innocents that have been murdered at its hands. 

DEATH TO THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC
