Iran's Judiciary announced on Wednesday that two men convicted of killing four security forces during riots in January were executed, according to a report from Mehr News.
The announcement, made in Tehran, did not provide additional detail on the identities of the two men, the specific circumstances of the January unrest in which the security personnel were killed, or the legal process that led to their convictions.
Iran has periodically carried out executions in cases tied to unrest and violence against security forces, with judicial authorities framing such measures as responses to attacks on law enforcement and state personnel during periods of civil disturbance.
The report did not specify the location of the January riots referenced, nor did it detail whether additional individuals face related charges in connection with the same incident.
Human rights organizations have in the past raised concerns over the transparency of judicial proceedings in cases resulting in the death penalty in Iran, though the Mehr News report did not include reaction from such groups regarding this case.
