Iran executes detainee from 2022 protest movement

Iran's judiciary has announced the execution of Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, saying he was arrested during the 2022 protest movement.

The movement began after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while she was in morality police custody.

The judiciary said the execution was carried out on Sunday.

No further details were given in the supplied material about the charges against Abdollahzadeh, the location of the execution, or whether his family or lawyers had been informed.

The announcement adds to the continuing fallout from the 2022 unrest.

The case is significant because it links a new state execution to the protests that followed Amini's death, which became a major challenge to the authorities.

It also keeps attention on how Iran is handling people detained during that period.

The supplied row does not say when Abdollahzadeh was sentenced, what court handled the case, or whether there has been any official response beyond the judiciary's announcement.

It also does not provide details on any wider legal process.
