Iran’s judiciary executed Shahram Sadeghi on Sunday, convicting him of running over police officers during anti-government protests in January. Mizan Online, the judiciary’s website, stated Sadeghi was “sentenced to death for having carried out an operational action in support of the Zionist regime and the United States.” He allegedly wounded seven officers by ramming them with his car on January 8 in Karaj, west of Tehran.
