Iran executes three more amid protests

Iran has executed three men accused of collaborating with Israel and the U.S. and participating in anti-regime protests.

Iranian authorities have executed three men, Hassan Divband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh, according to reports by Walla and the Dutch news outlet NOS. The three were convicted of participating in anti-regime protests in the city of Karaj last January, as well as acting on behalf of Israel and the United States. According to the reports, the men were accused of using firearms and explosives, and damaging electricity infrastructure.

The executions were carried out after Iran's Supreme Court upheld the sentences. Separately, it was reported that eight other citizens were sentenced to prison for their involvement in the events. Further details regarding the legal proceedings have not yet been released.
