Iran has executed a man convicted over his involvement in the antigovernment protests that swept the country earlier this year, according to the Iranian judiciary.
The judiciary's Mizan News Agency said Mohammad Amini Dehaghani was hanged after Iran's Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
Authorities said he was convicted of "moharebeh" ("waging war against God") and "corruption on earth", charges frequently used in cases involving national security.
According to state media, Amini Dehaghani was found guilty of throwing a Molotov cocktail outside the governor's office in Dehaghan on January 9, setting fire to public property and damaging a local police station.
The protests, which began in late December over rising living costs, quickly spread across Iran and evolved into broader demonstrations with political demands.
Iranian authorities have described the unrest as foreign-backed riots and said around 3,000 people were killed in the violence. Human rights organizations have disputed the official narrative, alleging security forces used excessive force against demonstrators and reporting significantly higher casualty figures.
