Iran executes two men convicted of allegedly killing a paramilitary volunteer during nationwide protests sparked after the death of Mahsa Amini last September
At least 517 protesters have been killed and over 19,200 people have been arrested, according to Human Rights activists in Iran.
The judiciary's Mizan news agency said the men had been convicted of killing Ruhollah Ajamian, a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's volunteer Basij Force, in the city of Karaj outside of Tehran on November 3. The Basij have deployed in major cities, attacking and detaining protesters, who in many cases have fought back.
The men were convicted of the killing, as well as “corruption on Earth,” a Quranic term and charge that has been levied against others in the decades since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and carries the death penalty.
