Iran has executed three individuals, including 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi who was linked to student-led demonstrations against the regime's authority. The state carried out these executions by hanging at dawn following a series of violent repression measures that have intensified since January riots began across major cities like Tehran and Isfahan. While authorities claim justice for crimes committed during unrest, international observers note this action targets athletes involved in organizing protests rather than addressing specific criminal charges alone.
