Mohsen Shekari’s execution appears to be first of demonstrator involved in protests
Iran has executed a 23-year-old man for allegedly stabbing a pro-regime militia officer with a machete and blocking a street in the capital, in what appears to be the first execution of a demonstrator involved in recent protests that have rocked the country.
As many as 21 people have now been charged with sentences likely to carry the death penalty, and hundreds of others have been killed during the protests.
