## Summary

Iran executed three men on Sunday after the judiciary convicted them of working for the United States and Israel and participating in armed unrest during anti-government protests in January. The executions add to a series of death sentences carried out in connection with the protests and underline the severe penalties imposed on people accused of involvement.

The men, Hassan Dioband, Hamid Kazemi and Reza Zanganeh, were accused of using firearms, grenades and Molotov cocktails, setting fires and damaging an electricity substation in Karaj, which caused outages in some areas. The judiciary said Dioband was arrested on 11 January, and that ten other people accused of acting under his supervision were also arrested. Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the three death sentences and ordered their assets confiscated; the other defendants received prison terms of five to ten years.
