So they can kill him.

Amnesty International is urging Iranian authorities not to go ahead with the execution of convicted drug smuggler after the man survived a botched hanging last week.
"According to official state media, a doctor declared him dead after the 12 minute-hanging, but when the prisoner's family went to collect his body the following day he was found to still be breathing.
He is currently in hospital, but a judge reportedly said he would be executed again 'once medical staff confirm his health condition is good enough'."
BBC quotes an Iranian official as saying: "The verdict was the death sentence, and it will be carried out once the man gets well again."
