Iranian authorities have shot and killed a man celebrating the country's elimination from the 2022 World Cup, according to a human rights group, as the Islamic Republic intensified its attempt to quash dissent in the wake of Mahsa Amini's death in September.
The Oslo-based Iran Human Rights said 27-year-old Mehran Samak was one of many citizens celebrating the loss of Iran — the national team symbolises the regime to many Iranians — across the country after the United States claimed a one-nil victory in Qatar.
