Iran issues another death sentence over Amini protests
Iran has sentenced another man to death in connection with the protests triggered by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, the judiciary says.
Javad Rouhi was sentenced to death on charges of “corruption on Earth,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online news website reports.
The sentence, which can still be appealed, brings to 18 the total number of people the judiciary have announced have been condemned to death in connection with the protests.
Rouhi was found guilty of “leading a group of rioters,” “inciting people to create insecurity,” as well as of “apostasy by desecration of the Quran by burning it,” Mizan Online reports.
