Iran's judiciary says it has executed man for allegedly spying for Israel's Mossad as war rages

  • On Wednesday, Iran executed Kurosh Keyvani after the judiciary's Mizan news agency found him "guilty of providing Israel's spy agency, Mossad, with pictures and information about sensitive locations in Iran."
  • Locked in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, The Islamic Republic executes numerous individuals accused of collaborating with Mossad, following the January 28 execution of Hamidreza Sabet Esmaeilipour.
  • Special Rapporteur Mai Sato published a report last week documenting human rights violations during the protest crackdown, finding security forces killed thousands while abusing medical facilities to suppress public expression.
  • Iranian families remain reluctant to share testimonies with the Special Rapporteur, evidencing fear of reprisals at levels exceeding those seen before this year's nationwide protests.
  • The Islamic Penal Code restricts public gatherings by requiring government permission and ensuring demonstrations do not contravene the "foundations of Islam," which Sato noted falls short of Human Rights Council Resolution 40/20 standards.
