Iran executed three men on Sunday in connection with anti-government protests earlier this year. Mehdi Rasouli, Mohammad Reza Miri and Ebrahim Dolatabadi were all hanged in Mashhad. According to Iran Human Rights Monitor, Iran carried out 656 executions in the first three months of this year. Since March, during the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, there have been 24 political executions.

Meanwhile, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi has been hospitalized in critical condition after collapsing in Zanjan Prison. She suffered a heart attack in March and has since experienced chest pain, severe headaches and double vision, but authorities continue to deny her transfer to specialist care in Tehran. Mohammadi has been arrested 13 times and sentenced to a cumulative 31 years in prison. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her advocacy against torture and the death penalty in Iran.
