Iran executes man convicted over killing of security officer in 2022 unrest

DUBAI: Iran executed a man convicted of involvement ​in the killing of ‌a security officer, the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan reported ​on Sunday, after the ​Supreme Court upheld his sentence ⁠in late 2025. The defendant, ​identified as Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, ​was described as one of the main individuals responsible for the ​death of security officer ​Abbas Fatemiyeh, killed in 2022 during ‌a ⁠nationwide protest movement sparked by the death of a young woman, Mahsa Amini , ​in ​police ⁠custody. Mizan said the defendant confessed to assaulting ​the security officer. Rights ​group ⁠HRANA quoted an informed source as saying Abdollahzadeh ⁠was ​subject to torture ​to extract forced confessions.
