A man convicted of participating in an attack on a classified military facility during recent unrest in Iran was executed, the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan says, after his appeal was rejected and the Supreme Court upheld his sentence.
The judiciary says Amirhossein Hatami was found guilty of entering a restricted military site in Tehran, damaging and setting fire to the facility, and trying to seize weapons and ammunition, charges he admitted during interrogation, Mizan reports.
The first deputy chief of the Judiciary, Hamzeh Khalili, said last month that cases linked to January protests, a nationwide anti-government movement repressed in the biggest crackdown in the history of the Islamic Republic, were finalized and sentences were being implemented.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
