Iran has executed Mehrdad Mohammadi-Nia and Ashkan Maleki, convicted of attacking the Jafari Mosque in Tehran's Gisha neighbourhood during nationwide protests that erupted in late December 2025 following the collapse of the Iranian rial. The Supreme Court upheld their sentences after the men were found guilty of charges including arson, clashing with security forces, and activities against national security, though the specific capital charge was not disclosed by authorities. The executions come amid a broader crackdown in which Amnesty International says at least 39 political executions have been carried out since January, with more than 6,000 people arrested and widespread allegations of torture, forced confessions, and unfair trials — charges Iran has dismissed, insisting due process was followed.
