Tehran — Iranian authorities have executed three individuals convicted in connection with anti-government protests, in a move that has drawn swift condemnation from international human rights organisations.
The defendants were accused of participating in violent acts during the unrest, including the killing of a security personnel. All three death sentences were carried out following confirmation by Iran’s Supreme Court, according to official sources.
Human rights groups have strongly criticised the executions, raising serious concerns over the fairness of the trials and warning that Iran is increasingly using its judiciary to silence dissent and crush political opposition.
The executions mark the latest in a series of capital punishments linked to the wave of protests that swept Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022 — one of the most significant challenges to the Islamic Republic in decades.
