Judicial reform progressed in the late 1920s after Rezā Shāh consolidated Pahlavi rule (1925–1979). Executions largely occurred away from public view, and capital punishment was primarily restricted to murder, high treason, and armed rebellion. One rare public execution during this period was the hanging of the doctor of Tehran's Central Jail shortly after Reza Shah was deposed. The doctor and three others were found guilty of murdering political prisoners.
