Iran Executes Two Men Following Anti-Government Protests
Iran publicly executed two men on July 28 who were accused of killing police officers during a wave of anti-government protests in January. The executions mark a continuation of the Iranian judiciary's hardline response to domestic unrest. Human rights organizations have condemned the move as part of a broader crackdown on dissent occurring simultaneously with the country's military engagements with the United States and Israel.
Casualties reported: 2
