Iran issues first death sentence linked to recent protests – By Adam Pourahmadi (CNN) / Nov 14, 2022
An Iranian court has issued the first death sentence linked to recent protests, convicting the unnamed person of “enmity against God” and “spreading corruption on Earth,” state media reports.
It comes following weeks of nationwide demonstrations, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in September.
Iran’s Revolutionary Court issued the sentence to a protester who allegedly set fire to a government building, reported state media.
They were convicted on the charge of “disturbing public order and peace, community, and colluding to commit a crime against national security, war and corruption on Earth, war through arson, and intentional destruction,” according to state news agency IRNA on Sunday.
