Iran executed two men on Saturday after they were convicted of killing a paramilitary force member during protests sparked by the death in custody of a young woman, the judiciary said.
Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti is welcomed by friends and colleagues on January 4, 2023, upon being released from prison on bail, after the authorities held her for almost three weeks over her support for the protest movement, her lawyer said. – Alidoosti is one of Iran’s most acclaimed cinema figures, winning international renown performances in award-winning films by director Asghar Farhadi, including the Oscar-winning 2016 film “The Salesman”.
“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,” judicial news agency Mizan Online reported. The victim was a member of the Basij militia — linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps — who died in Karaj, west of Tehran.
Authorities have arrested thousands people in the wave of demonstrations that began with the September death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman who had been arrested by morality police for allegedly breaching the strict dress code for women.
