Iran has carried out the first known execution of a prisoner arrested during the months-long protests that have rocked the country since the alleged police killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, state media reported.
The prisoner - identified by Mizan, the news site of the country's judiciary, as Mohsen Shekari - was accused of attacking a paramilitary guard with a knife "in a way that resulted in 13 stitches" and of disturbing public order by blocking a thoroughfare of Iran's capital, Tehran, during the protests. He was executed on Thursday, Mizan said.
