TL;DR Summary

Iran has executed three men who were sentenced to death for their alleged involvement in a shooting attack that killed three security personnel during anti-government protests in Isfahan in November 2019. Amnesty International has claimed that the men were subjected to unfair trials and tortured. Four other protesters have been hanged since December, while dozens more have reportedly been sentenced to death or charged with capital offences. The protests followed the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was detained by morality police in Tehran in September for allegedly wearing her hijab "improperly".
