ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iranian authorities early Tuesday executed another protester detained during the January nationwide protest in which thousands of protesters were killed, reported Tasnim news.
Amir Ali Mir Jafari was one of tens of thousands of protesters detained in January when people across the country staged a nationwide protest calling for the end of the Islamic Republic.
“In dealing with spies, traitorous elements, and foot soldiers of the aggressor, our posture is fully combative and aligned with wartime requirements,” Chief Justice Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei said in a Monday post on X.
Late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issued a crackdown order, after which thousands of protesters were killed and many more were wounded. At least 20,000 protesters and bystanders were detained.
The bodies of hundreds of protesters in bodybags in a morgue in southeast Tehran shocked the world when the Islamic Republic regime killed thousands of protesters on January 8 and 9 in a space of 48 hours.
Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said on Tuesday that Mir Jafari was accused of setting a mosque on fire with a group of other protesters.
