Iran shot: Another man executed for protests

The Iranian judiciary has executed another man in connection with the mass protests at the turn of the year. As the justice-related news agency Misan reported, the death sentence against Siavasch Jamschidi was carried out at dawn.

Prosecutors accused the man of shooting at police officers during the nationwide unrest. The analysis of cell phone data is also said to have confirmed his repeated presence at the riots and his use of firearms. The court sentenced him to death for waging war against God (Moharebeh), using a firearm and conspiring against the security of the country.

According to Misan, Jamschidi was also convicted of other offenses unrelated to the protests, including "fraud, threats, theft and possessing and carrying a military weapon." Further allegations included “complicity in kidnapping, brandishing a weapon for the purpose of intimidation and intentional bodily harm.”
