Iran executes four men after sabotage allegations. Four men are said to have planned a bomb attack on behalf of the Israeli secret service.
The men were accused of collaborating with Israel's arch-enemy Mossad. The confessions of the four Kurds were extracted under torture, human rights activists say.. Amnesty International accuses the authorities of using the death penalty as an “instrument of oppression” against ethnic minorities. According to an annual report from Hengaw, 829 people were executed last year.
