Iran Prepares to Execute First Protest Participant
Iran is preparing to execute the first participant of the protest demonstrations. Human rights organizations, including the Norway-based Iran Human Rights, report this information.
The individual in question is 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who is accused under the charge of 'waging war against God,' a provision in Iranian law that carries severe penalties. He could face execution today, just six days after his arrest.
It is worth noting that Iranian authorities have not yet commented on the reports concerning Erfan Soltani.
