Iran drew international condemnation on Saturday as it executed two men for killing a paramilitary force member in November during unprecedented protests sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death in custody.
PARIS, France —
Prosecutors said the 27-year-old militiaman was stripped naked and killed by a group of mourners who had been paying tribute to a slain protester, Hadis Najafi. Iranian authorities have arrested thousands in their crackdown on the wave of demonstrations that began after the September 16 death of Iranian Kurdish woman Amini, 22, following her arrest for allegedly breaching Iran’s dress code for women.
Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights , said both men “were subjected to torture, sentenced after sham trials… without the minimum standards for due process.”Karami’s parents had in December issued a video pleading for authorities to spare his life.
