Majid Reza Rahnavard, 23, was hanged from a construction crane. A video of the execution spreading across social media shows his suspended body, dressed in white with his hands bound behind him, slowly spinning in the predawn dark as a crowd gathers around.
Rahnavard was convicted of fatally stabbing two members of Iran’s security forces with a knife on Nov. 17, according to Mizan, the official news site of the judiciary. The site published a photo of men in black ski masks at the execution site.
Rahnavard is the second protester to be executed in the past week, and the first to have his body displayed publicly, as the government seeks to crush a national uprising that challenges its rule. Mohsen Shekari, accused of injuring a member of the security forces, was executed on Thursday.
