"Three individuals convicted in the Dey [January] unrest, on charges of murder and operational actions in favor of the Zionist regime and the United States, were hanged this morning, the judiciary's Mizan Online website said on Thursday. It added that those executed were involved in the killing of two law enforcement personnel."
"Authorities say 3,117 people were killed during the anti-establishment protests that began in late December, rejecting statements by the United Nations and international human rights organisations that state forces were behind the killings, which were mostly carried out on January 8 and 9."
"The Ministry of Intelligence said in a statement that 111 pro-monarchy cells in 26 of Iran's 31 provinces were stopped overnight into Wednesday from launching acts opposing the country's theocratic establishment that toppled a US-backed monarchy in a 1979 Islamic revolution."
Iran's judiciary announced the execution of three individuals convicted of murder and operational activities supporting the United States and Israel during January unrest. These individuals were allegedly involved in killing two law enforcement personnel. The executions occurred amid a 20-day military conflict affecting the country. Authorities reported 3,117 deaths during anti-establishment protests beginning in late December, attributing them to protesters rather than state forces. International organizations, including the UN and human rights groups, disputed this account. Earlier in February, independent verification documented 6,872 deaths with over 11,000 additional cases under investigation. A UN special rapporteur suggested the death toll could exceed 20,000. Additionally, Iranian authorities announced hundreds of arrests and operations targeting alleged pro-monarchy cells across multiple provinces.
