A man convicted of participating in an attack on a classified military facility during recent unrest in Iran was executed, the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan says, after his appeal was rejected and the Supreme Court upheld his sentence.
The judiciary says Amirhossein Hatami was found guilty of entering a restricted military site in Tehran, damaging and setting fire to the facility, and trying to seize weapons and ammunition, charges he admitted during interrogation, Mizan reports.
The first deputy chief of the Judiciary, Hamzeh Khalili, said last month that cases linked to January protests, a nationwide anti-government movement repressed in the biggest crackdown in the history of the Islamic Republic, were finalized and sentences were being implemented.
