Iranian judicial authorities executed Ali Sina Mostafavi on Wednesday, state media reported. The judiciary's Mizan news agency stated that Mostafavi was hanged after being convicted of joining "the military forces of the American-Israeli enemy" and participating in "terrorist operations" in the central city of Kerman. He was also accused of sending videos and photos to "enemy broadcast networks" during widespread protests in January. Mizan identified Mostafavi as a supporter of Iranian anarchists linked to Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah overthrown in 1979. The report did not specify the date of the alleged terrorist operations or when the photos and videos were sent. This execution follows a series of similar sentences carried out in Iran, with dozens of men reportedly executed in connection with recent protests and unrest earlier in the year.
