IRAN CRISIS UPDATE, DECEMBER 12
The Iranian regime executed a protester for the second time since the Mahsa Amini protests began as part of the regime effort to deter protest turnout and instill terror among the public.
Protest coordinators and organizations called for demonstrations in response to the execution of Majid Reza Rahnavard and seemed to have limited success in generating turnout on short notice.
The ineffectiveness and brutal nature of the regime protest crackdown has continued to fragment Iranian political elite.
At least seven protests occurred in four cities across four provinces.
