Iran Executes Swedish-Iranian Dual National for Terrorism Conviction

Iran executed Habib Farajollah Chaab, a Swedish-Iranian dissident who was convicted of leading an Arab separatist group accused of carrying out attacks, including one on a military parade in 2018 that killed 25 people. Chaab had been sentenced to death for being "corrupt on earth". Sweden's Foreign Minister expressed "dismay" over the execution, and the EU condemned the application of the death penalty under all circumstances. Iran has had tense relations with its ethnic minorities, which include Arabs, Kurds, Azeris, and Baluch.
