People light a fire during a protest over the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who died after being arrested by the Islamic republic’s “morality police”, in Tehran, Iran September 21, 2022. REUTERSPIX: Iran executed two men on Saturday for killing a paramilitary force member during unprecedented protests sparked by the death in custody of a young woman.
Judicial news agency Mizan Online on Saturday reported “Mohammad Mahdi Karami and Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, the main perpetrators of the crime that led to the martyrdom of Ruhollah Ajamian, were hanged this morning.”On Tuesday, the Supreme Court upheld the sentence of capital punishment, accusing them of killing Ajamian on November 3.
The hangings come in defiance of a campaign by international rights groups for the lives of the two men to be spared. Karami was 22, according to Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights . Hosseini's age was not immediately clear.
