Iran executes man convicted of running over police during January protests

Iran executed a man convicted of deliberately driving his car into police ‌officers during anti-government protests in the city of Karaj in January, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

Shahram Sadeghi ⁠was accused of driving a car into police officers in Karaj on January 8, injuring seven officers, one of whom was reportedly left in a coma for three months, according to ‌Tasnim ⁠news agency.

The Karaj Revolutionary Court sentenced Sadeghi to death and confiscation of his assets for what authorities ⁠described as an “operational action” in favour of Israel, the United States and hostile ⁠groups under Iran's espionage law.

The Supreme Court upheld the ⁠sentence and it was carried out early on Sunday, according to the judiciary.
