Iran Warns Protesters Face Death Penalty Amid Violent Crackdown and Detentions

Iran's attorney general warned that protesters could face the death penalty for being 'enemies of God' as demonstrations continue into their second week. The charge of 'moharebeh' carries execution as a potential punishment. Reports indicate at least 72 people have been killed and over 2,300 detained amid a violent crackdown. Security forces have reportedly used live ammunition and other forceful measures to disperse crowds. Protests initially focused on economic issues but have broadened into anti-government sentiment.
