Britain on Friday summoned Iran's most senior diplomat in London to protest the hanging of Mohsen Shekari, the first such execution over ongoing anti-government unrest.
"The execution of Mohsen Shekari by the Iranian regime is abhorrent. He is a tragic victim of a legal system in which disproportionate sentences, politically motivated trials, and forced confessions are rife," Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.
