Iran Executes Man Arrested Over January Protests, Judiciary News Outlet

DUBAI, April 2 (Reuters) – ⁠A ⁠man convicted ⁠of participating in an attack ​on a classified military facility ‌during recent unrest ‌in Iran was ⁠executed ⁠on Thursday, the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan ​said, after his appeal was rejected and the Supreme Court ​upheld his sentence.

The judiciary said Amirhossein ⁠Hatami ⁠was found guilty ⁠of ​entering a restricted military site in ​Tehran, damaging ⁠and setting fire to the facility, and trying to seize weapons and ⁠ammunition, charges he admitted during interrogation, Mizan reported.

The ⁠first deputy chief of the Judiciary, Hamzeh Khalili, said last month that cases linked to January protests, a nationwide anti-government movement repressed in the biggest crackdown ⁠in the history of the Islamic Republic, were finalised and sentences were being implemented.
