Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 08:08 · 1 min read

Iran has executed Amirali Mirjafari, a man convicted of setting fire to the Qolhak mosque in Tehran during anti-government protests in January 2026, the judiciary's news outlet Mizan reported on Tuesday. Authorities also accused Mirjafari of leading a network linked to Israeli intelligence and of conducting broader anti-security activities. The execution underscores Iran's continued use of capital punishment against those it holds responsible for unrest stemming from the January protests.
