Iran executed a man convicted of killing a member of security forces during the 2022 nationwide protests, Iranian authorities said. The judiciary stated the execution followed a court finding that the man shot at security personnel during unrest in Tehran after roads were blocked and clashes broke out. Authorities said the defendant used a pellet gun, confessed to firing from a rooftop, and that the wounded security member later died in a hospital. Rights groups have criticized related trials and due process.
