E-mailDUBAI, May 3 (Reuters) - Iran executed a man convicted of involvement in the killing of a security officer, the judiciary's news outlet Mizan reported on Sunday, after the Supreme Court upheld his sentence in late 2025.
The defendant, identified as Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, was described as one of the main individuals responsible for the death of security officer Abbas Fatemiyeh, killed in 2022 during a nationwide protest movement sparked by the death of a young woman, Mahsa Amini, in police custody.
Mizan said the defendant confessed to assaulting the security officer. Rights group HRANA quoted an informed source as saying Abdollahzadeh was subject to torture to extract forced confessions.
