Iran's parliament floats removing death from eight drug offences

The spokesperson of the Iranian parliament's judiciary and legal commission said a bill to amend the Anti-Narcotics Law would remove the death penalty from eight drug-related offences. No text, timetable or list of the provisions to be changed was published, so the scope of the proposal remained unclear.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Iran here.
