Iran executes man over anti-government protests, with Amnesty International denouncing the unfair trial and torture of the accused. The man, Mojahed Kourkouri, was sentenced to death for alleged armed attacks and belonging to a "rebellion group" after being convicted of killing seven people, including nine-year-old Kian Pirfalak, during the protests in Izeh. The crackdown on the 2022 protests resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of detentions, with human rights groups condemning the executions tied to the demonstrations.
