Iran executes three men over armed unrest during January protests
The men were convicted of armed unrest and alleged attacks in Karaj, with authorities saying they used firearms, grenades and Molotov cocktails.
- On Nov 8, Iran executed Hassan Dioband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh after the judiciary convicted the three men of participating in 'armed unrest' during anti-government protests in Jan.
- Officials accused the trio of using firearms, grenades, and Molotov cocktails to attack public facilities in Karaj, allegedly damaging an electricity substation and causing power outages.
- The Supreme Court upheld the death sentences, ordering their assets confiscated, while ten other defendants received prison terms of 5 to 10 years.
- These executions represent the latest in a series Iran has carried out in recent months, with authorities targeting individuals accused of links to Israel regarding the Jan protests.
- Officials arrested Dioband on Jan 11 after identifying him as a suspect in attacks on public property and incitement to violence, as investigations into the protest-related unrest remain active.
