Iran executed Siavash Jamshidi Kheirabadi, a man detained during protests in January, after accusing him of firing at least three shots at police on January 8 in Shahrekord in southwestern Iran, the judiciary said Saturday (Arab News, October 3). He was arrested two days later with a handgun and accused of contacting people online to organize "anti-security" activities and seeking payment for a "mission," though the judiciary did not identify who was purported to be behind it (Arab News, October 3). The execution fits a broader pattern of Iranian judicial crackdowns on protest-related detainees.
