Iranian Government Executes Three Protesters.

Iran has executed three men accused of carrying out an attack that killed three security officers during anti-government protests in November 2022. The US State Department and Amnesty International have condemned the executions, calling the proceedings "sham trials" and a "blatant act of vengeance." Last year, Iran executed at least 582 people, a 75% increase on the previous year, with more than half of the executions taking place after the protests erupted in September.
