Iran on Saturday executed a man accused of involvement in a deadly attack on security forces during nationwide protests in 2022, the judiciary\u2019s official news agency reported.<\/p>\n
Mizan Online identified the man as Mehran Bahramian, who reportedly opened fire on a security vehicle during the unrest, killing one officer and wounding others in December 2022, in Semirom county, Isfahan province. It added that Iran\u2019s Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence.<\/p>\n
The execution marked the 12th known case of a person put to death in connection with the 2022 protests, according to rights monitors. The demonstrations erupted after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died in police custody following her arrest for allegedly violating the country\u2019s strict dress code.<\/p>\n
In June, Iran executed Abbas Korkouri, who was convicted of shooting and killing seven people during the protests.<\/p>\n
Human rights monitors say such executions are part of a broader campaign to silence dissent, and there is international concern over these executions being conducted without evidence behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
According to UN figures, Iran carried out nearly 1,000 executions in 2024, one of the highest rates in the world.<\/p>\n
Amnesty International, which campaigns against the death penalty, has warned that Iran \u201cmay execute other individuals on death row for politically motivated charges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
