22-year-old Majid Reza Rahnavard is the second demonstrator executed by the Islamic Republic in less than a week on charges related to the ongoing protests that have gripped the country in recent months.
Neither Rahnavard nor Shekari was allowed to appoint their own lawyers. Their execution sentences were carried out 23 and 73 days, respectively, after their arrests, a "surprisingly quick" trial for such cases even with the Islamic Republic's norms, lawyers said.
"Crimes that are punishable by death, such as 'moharebeh,' must have a lawyer in the case," the lawyer said. "But Shekari was denied the right to appoint a lawyer."
