Three men were executed in Iran on Friday for their involvement in the killing of three security force members during anti-government protests last year. Rights groups have condemned the executions, claiming that the men were subjected to torture and denied due process. The Iranian government has been accused of using the charge of “moharebeh” or “waging war against God” to suppress dissent and punish protesters, prompting the international community to urge Iran to respect the rights of its citizens.
