Iranian authorities publicly executed two men on Tuesday in a city square in Malekshahr. The judiciary stated that the individuals were convicted of "waging war against God" for their roles in anti-government protests that reached a peak in January. Officials alleged the men were responsible for tying up police officers and setting them on fire.
This event follows a period of widespread civil unrest across Iran. According to data from Amnesty International, these executions contribute to a broader trend in the country, which currently records the second-highest number of executions worldwide, trailing only China.
