From Reuters:
"Iran executes man involved in 2022 uprising over women's rights
Sept
6 (Reuters) - Iran on Saturday executed a man accused of killing a
security officer during unrest sparked by the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini,
the judiciary’s Mizan website reported.
Rights groups say authorities often rely on forced confessions obtained under torture to convict protesters.
Saturday’s
execution brings to at least 10 the number of people hanged over the
protests that erupted in mid-September 2022 after 22-year-old Amini died
in the custody of Iran's morality police for allegedly violating the
hijab law.
Her death triggered nationwide demonstrations under the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom".
Rights
groups said Bahramian's brother, Fazel, was also sentenced to death on
the same charges. Their brother Morad Bahramian was killed by security
forces during the 2022 protests.
Amnesty
International says confessions extracted through beatings, prolonged
solitary confinement and threats against detainees and their families
are routinely used as evidence in court."
