Iran on Friday executed three men it said were implicated in the deaths of three members of its security forces during last year’s anti-government demonstrations, drawing protests at home and abroad.
Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi were executed in the central city of Isfahan, the judiciary said in a statement on Twitter, adding they had "martyred" two members of the Basij paramilitary force and a police officer on Nov. 16.
Amnesty International said the men's fast-tracked trial was flawed and used "torture-tainted 'confessions'".
