Iran executed three more participants in the mass protests against the state leadership. The men were executed in the morning, as the justice portal Misan reported.
They had been found guilty of killing three security forces in the metropolis of Isfahan during the nationwide demonstrations in November. According to Islamic law in Iran, they were sentenced to death for "waging war against God". Until the very end, human rights activists and relatives had fought to prevent the execution. "Don't let them kill us," the note read.
