InTheCloset 21,756 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/08/iran-executes-man-23-mohsen-shekari-allegedly-stabbing-pro-regime-officer Iran has conducted the first known execution in relation to the anti-government protests that have rocked the country, hanging a man who was found guilty by a revolutionary court of “waging war against God” under sharia law. Mohsen Shekari (who was only 23 years old) had been sentenced to death for allegedly blocking a street and wounding a member of the pro-regime Basij militia on 25 September, during the early phase of the protests triggered by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini. Shekari’s uncle Mahmoud Shekari told the Guardian from Denmark that the family had not been given his body and accused the authorities of starting “a familiar game to torture”. Tehran has previously withheld the bodies of dead protesters. #RaidTheCloset Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
