Iran announced today it has executed a prisoner convicted for a crime allegedly committed during the country's ongoing protests, the first such death penalty carried out by Tehran.
Mohsen Shekari was reportedly hanged on Thursday morning after he was found guilty by a Revolutionary Court of "enmity against God".
Other detainees also face the possibility of the death penalty for their involvement in the protests, which began in mid-September as an outcry against Iran's morality police.
