At least 14 people have died in Iran after after drinking bootleg alcohol in the northern Iranian province of Alborz. Another 120 suffering from alcohol poisoning symptoms have been referred to medical centers in the province. Authorities said the industrial alcohol had been sold by a body spray production factory in Alborz. A judiciary official in the province said the death toll could be higher as it is likely that some of those who consumed the poisoned alcohol have died at home. Since the 1979 revolution, alcohol has been banned in Iran and punishable by floggings and cash fines. Despite the ban, many Iranians drink foreign and homemade alcoholic beverages that are available on the black market. To read the original story by Radio Farda, click here.
