Iran executed an Iranian-Swedish dual national Saturday accused of masterminding a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed at least 25 people. 9News
Cha'ab's execution comes as a Swedish court last year sentenced an Iranian to life in prison over his part in the 1988 mass executions in Iran at the end of its war with Iraq.
The Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency confirmed Cha'ab's execution by hanging in a lengthy statement. It also included state television interviews with Cha'ab, a feature of many Iranian trials that activists long have described as coerced confessions. The Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights separately condemned the execution, referring to Cha'ab's closed-door trial as "grossly unfair".
The end of the war saw mass executions of an estimated 5000 Iranian prisoners, including those from an exiled opposition group and others.
