Iran carries out executions linked to protests over Mahsa Amin

The Iranian judiciary said on Tuesday it had executed a man convicted of armed rebellion, the latest in a wave of hangings carried out since the start of the war with the US and Israel in late February.

"The death sentence for Abdoljalil Shahbakhsh, son of Jalal, a trained member of the Ansar al-Furqan terrorist group, was carried out this morning ," the judiciary website Mizan Online said.

He was accused of carrying out armed attacks on police headquarters and membership in the rebel group Ansar al-Furqan. Ansar al-Furqan is a Sunni militant group operating in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

The judiciary said Shahbakhsh carried out his attacks during protests in 2022 and 2023 following the death in custody of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian Kurdish woman.

Iran is second only to China in the number of executions it carries out, according to human rights groups. The Norway-based group Iran Human Rights says the country executed at least 1,600 people last year, one of the highest numbers in the world. /CNA
