Iran Hangs January Protesters in Isfahan Square, Sparking Global Outcry

Iran publicly hanged two January protesters at Isfahan’s Alikhani Square (Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi) after a trial rights groups say violated fair procedures; authorities accuse them of attacking police. The executions are part of a broader crackdown linked to the January protests, with at least 24 people reported executed this year, drawing UN concerns about due process and calls for accountability while families report pressure and the regime’s internet shutdown continues.
