Iranian authorities executed two men on Tuesday after they were convicted of killing four police officers during protests that took place in January. The executions were confirmed by state media, including reports from Mizanonline.ir, an outlet affiliated with the country’s judiciary.
The two individuals were identified as Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and a second person whose full identity was not specified in the reports. The legal proceedings and subsequent hangings follow a period of civil unrest in the country, marking a significant development in the state's response to the violence directed at security forces during the demonstrations.
