Iran has executed Ali Mahloji, a 46-year-old bus driver and father of two arrested during the January protests, according to Persian-language Telegram channels. He was sentenced to death on charges of 'acting against state security'.
A Persian-language the source reported Friday evening that Iran has executed Ali Mahloji, a 46-year-old bus driver and father of two who was detained during the January protests that swept the country. The channel stated Mahloji was sentenced to death and put to death in recent days on charges of 'acting against state security'. The report has not yet been corroborated by official Iranian sources or international media. The execution would add to a growing list of detainees from the January unrest who have faced the death penalty. As The Zioneer has reported, several other protest detainees — including Javad Zamani and Abolfazl Sa'edi — were executed in June, while others continue to face 'Moharebeh' charges that can carry capital punishment.
