Iran executes first known prisoner arrested in protests

Iran Protests Iran said Thursday it executed a prisoner convicted for a crime allegedly committed during the country's ongoing nationwide protests, the first such death penalty carried out by Tehran. The execution comes as other detainees also face the possibility of the death penalty for their involvement in the protests, which began in mid-September, first as an outcry against Iran's morality police. “This execution must have rapid practical consequences internationally.” Iran's Mizan news agency reported the execution of the man, identified as Mohsen Shekari. At least 475 people have been killed in the demonstrations amid a heavy-handed security crackdown, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that's been monitoring the protests since they began.
