Iran executes second person by public hanging in connection with violence during protests
(Worthy News) – Iran on Monday executed a second resident convicted of crimes connected to the nationwide protests challenging their county’s Islamic-rule government – publicly hanging the man from a construction crane.
The resident has been identified as Majidreza Rahnavard. He was convicted on charges of having fatally stabbed two members of a paramilitary force in response to the unit’s killing of protesters.
The protests were sparked by the death in September of 22-year-old Masha Amini, while in the custody of the Islamic Republic’s so-called morality police. She was arrested for allegedly failing to properly wear her hijab, a head scarf, to cover her hair. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
