Iran Executes 20-Year-Old Protester Amid Ongoing Death Sentences for Demonstrators
Iran executed 20-year-old protester Arvin Kheirkhah, arrested during January's anti-government demonstrations, on charges of moharebeh, or "waging war against God." His execution at Shahroud prison follows the recent public hangings of other young protesters linked to the same protests. Kheirkhah's final message urged remembrance of their cause. The executions have drawn international concern, including calls from UN experts to halt further death sentences against detainees from the protests.
