Iran has executed a second prisoner who was detained and convicted for participating in protests that challenged the country’s theocracy.
Majidreza Rahnavard was publicly hanged on Monday, less than a month after he was accused of stabbing two security force members to death and injuring four others in the city of Mashhad.
Mizan Online, a regime-affiliated news website, broke the news and said he was convicted of “waging war against God” which is a charge that carries the death penalty.
