At least two people have been executed for taking part in the protests, with Amnesty International criticising what it describes as 'sham trials designed to intimidate those participating in the popular uprising that has rocked Iran'.
Mohsen Shekari and Majidreza Rahnavard were executed for taking part in the protestsLast week, Taraneh Alidoosti, star of the Oscar-winning film The Salesman,on Instagram about the first man to be executed over the protests, according to reports.
The 38-year-old star wrote: ''His name was Mohsen Shekari. Every international organisation who is watching this bloodshed and not taking action, is a disgrace to humanity." According to IRNA, the official news agency of the Islamic Republic, she was arrested after failing to provide"any documents in line with her claims".

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter pittii is adapting to and exhibiting potential succession aboard the International Space Station - MicrobiomeBackground Monitoring the adaptation of microorganisms to the extreme environment of the International Space Station (ISS) is crucial to understanding microbial evolution and infection prevention. Acinetobacter pittii is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen, primarily impacting immunocompromised patients, that was recently isolated from two missions aboard the ISS. Results Here, we report how ISS-associated A. pittii (n=20 genomes) has formed its own genetically and functionally discrete clade distinct from most Earth-bound isolates (n=291 genomes). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing of ISS strains and two related clinical isolates demonstrated that ISS strains acquired more resistance, specifically with regard to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, despite no prediction of increased resistance based on genomic analysis of resistance genes. By investigating 402 longitudinal environmental and host-associated ISS metagenomes, we observed that viable A. pittii is increasing in relative abundance and therefore potentially exhibiting succession, being identified in |2X more metagenomic samples in back-to-back missions. ISS strains additionally contain functions that enable them to survive in harsh environments, including the transcriptional regulator LexA. Via a genome-wide association study, we identified a high level of mutational burden in methionine sulfoxide reductase genes relative to the most closely related Earth strains. Conclusions Overall, these results indicated a step forward in understanding how microorganisms might evolve and alter their antibiotic resistance phenotype in extreme, resource-limited, human-built environments.
