Iran hangs two more protesters

Iran

Two men have been hanged in Iran after allegedly killing a member of the army during nationwide protests.

Mohammad Mahdi Karami and Seyed Mohammad Hosseini were found guilty of their alleged involvement in the death of a paramilitary officer.

Human rights groups have denounced what they described as a sham trial.

The family of 22-year-old Karami says they were not allowed to meet him before he was killed.

Protests against Iran’s clerical establishment erupted in September after the death in custody of a woman who was arrested by morality police on suspicion of wearing her hijab, or headscarf, “improperly”.

At least 516 protesters have been killed so far, including 70 children, and 19,262 others have been arrested.

Many of those arrested after the protests are said to have been subjected to enforced disappearance, incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment.
