A protestor has been hanged in Iran in the first official execution in nearly three months of protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini.
Mohsen Shekari was hanged on Thursday morning after being found guilty by a Revolutionary Court of "enmity against God", state media reported.
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, Ms Shkari was found guilty of “enmity against God” by a Revolutionary Guard Court on Thursday morning. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of Norway-based non-government organisation Iran Human Rights, warned that daily executions may now take place in the country unless there is a strong international backlash against the regime.
He said: “The execution of Mohsen Shekari must be met with strong reactions otherwise we will be facing daily executions of protesters.
