Execution

Entangled in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, Iran has executed many people it has accused of having links with the Israeli intelligence service and facilitating its operations in the country.

The Iranian judiciary said the attack killed a toddler and injured several others on a bus traveling from Tehran to Ilam, a province in the west that borders Iraq.

"I stopped 837 hangings on Thursday," Trump told the press on Friday morning. "And I said, 'if you hang those people, you're gonna be hit harder than you've ever been hit.'"

Human rights groups warned the regime stepped up executions in response to the 2022 Women, Life, Freedom protests, which erupted in response to the regime’s murder of Mahsa Amini.

Mohareb, meaning to wage war against God, involves the use of weapons to create fear and breach public security under the regime’s law.

Soltani was arrested during public protests in Karaj on January 8. He was the first to be sentenced to execution, an Iranian official told Reuters.

Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand extended her “deepest condolences” and announced that Canadian consular officials are “in contact with the victim’s family in Canada.”

Protester Erfan Soltani is set to be put to death as soon as today, without trial, after regime forces arrested him in his home on January 8.

While an estimated 2,000 people have been killed in anti-Islamic regime protests in recent weeks, Erfaneh Soltani is the first protester to be sentenced to execution.
