Iran executed a man named Ali Fahim convicted over an attempt to storm a military facility and access an armory during unrest in January, state media says, after the Supreme Court upheld his sentence.
Iran has already executed three others linked to the incident, including Amir-Hossein Hatami last week, and Mohammad-Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast yesterday.
Another man linked to the same case is believed to face execution in the coming days, according to rights group Amnesty International.
Nationwide anti-government protests in January were repressed in the biggest crackdown in the Islamic Republic’s history.
Authorities say the defendants had tried to seize weapons and military equipment during protests, describing them as “rioters” acting against national security.
