Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the men’s convictions before their executions, state news agency Tasnim said. They had been accused of armed unrest during anti-government protests in Karaj.
Iran has executed three men, Hassan Dioband, Hamid Kazemi and Reza Zanganeh, in connection with January’s anti-government protests, state news agency Tasnim said. The executions followed a Supreme Court decision upholding their convictions, Tasnim said.
The protests began over the high cost of living in December 2025 and grew into widespread anti-government demonstrations, peaking on 8 January and 9, 2026.
Tasnim said the men were accused of throwing Molotov cocktails and grenades, using bladed weapons and firearms, and setting public facilities on fire in Karaj, west of Tehran, the BBC said.
Tasnim said the court found them guilty of participating in operational activities on behalf of Israel, the United States and groups it described as hostile.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk said in August that at least 56 people had been executed on national security-related charges since 19 March. He said he was alarmed by the rise in death penalties.
More than 100 people were injured in the collision, and trains between Giza and Upper Egypt were suspended while crews worked to clear the wreckage. Egypt’s Health Ministry later reported more than 125 injured and at least 7 killed. A parliamentary committee met Transport Minister Kamal el-Wazir on 10 November to discuss the crash.
