Iran executed three men on Sunday who had participated in anti-government protests in January. The judiciary's Mizan Online website reported that the men, identified as Hassan Diuband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zangana, were accused of throwing Molotov cocktails and grenades, and using weapons during protests in Karaj, west of Tehran. They were also charged with damaging a power station, which caused widespread electricity outages. The judiciary stated that the death sentences were carried out after being upheld by the Supreme Court, and that the men were found guilty of "participating in operational actions on behalf of the Zionist regime, the United States, and hostile groups."
Despite former President Donald Trump's claims of having "stopped the executions," the Iranian regime has continued with capital punishment. The executions come amid a significant increase in the number of executions of anti-regime protesters in Iran since February. The protests, which began in January over the rising cost of living, saw hundreds of thousands demonstrate in numerous cities. Iranian security forces reportedly opened fire on protesters, with non-governmental organizations outside Iran reporting tens of thousands killed. The Iranian regime also cut off internet access to hinder information flow to Western countries.
