Iran executes two men over Esfahan protests
Iranian authorities carried out the executions of two men convicted of killing four police officers during protests and acts of violence in the city of Isfahan in January 2026. The sentences followed a trial process and were formalized by the Supreme Court. These executions occur amid a crackdown campaign by the authorities against protesters, with human rights organizations accusing the government of using forced confessions obtained through torture to convict the protesters, charges that Iran denies. Previously, another man was executed for his involvement in killing a security personnel member and setting fire to government offices during the same protests.
