Early Tuesday, Iran executed three individuals, sparking protests in the city of Isfahan. Local sources reported that security forces used live ammunition to disperse the demonstrators, although this claim cannot be independently verified; some reports say rubber bullets were used. At least three protesters were killed and several others injured, according to reports.
The Islamic Republic has carried out a sustained campaign of executions in recent months. The Zioneer has previously reported on the regime sentencing nine protesters to death over two days in July, and on over 100 executions in a single month. Additionally, Iran has arrested thousands on allegations of collaboration with external enemies. The events in Isfahan represent the latest instance of the regime's use of lethal force against civilians.
