Iran hangs three people for allegedly killing cops in recent unrest

Iran has executed three people on Thursday convicted of killing police officers and carrying out operations in favor of the United States and Israel during unrest earlier this year, the judiciary says.

“Three individuals convicted in the Dey (January) unrest, on charges of murder and operational actions in favor of the Zionist regime and the United States, were hanged this morning,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website says.

It adds that those executed were involved in the killing of two law enforcement personnel.
