Another man has been executed in Iran in connection with the mass anti-government protests in January.
The man is alleged to have fired shots at security forces and attacked a government building in the Isfahan region, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported.
He was hanged on Monday morning after the Supreme Court upheld the sentence.
The execution comes amid a wave of executions in Iran following the mass protests at the start of the year, which the country’s leadership brutally suppressed. Others have been put to death in connection with allegations of espionage.
The human rights organization Amnesty International reports at least 2,159 executions in Iran last year – a new high since 1981.
The death penalty is used in the Islamic Republic as a tool of political repression and to intimidate the population, the organization wrote in a report last week.
