Iran executed several students who participated in the January anti-regime protests overnight, according to reports. The regime claims the students were convicted of killing police officers. Following the executions, clashes erupted between protesters and security forces outside the prison in Isfahan.
This is the latest in a series of executions today. Earlier this morning, The Zioneer reported on the execution of three protesters (05:44 Jerusalem) and a woman reportedly shot dead in clashes outside the same prison (06:08 Jerusalem). The regime has been systematically executing protesters convicted of attacking security forces.
Since June, Iran has executed dozens of individuals linked to the January protests, in what critics describe as an intensifying crackdown on dissent. The overnight executions add to the growing death toll, with the Isfahan prison becoming a focal point for protests against the regime's use of capital punishment.
