(ANSA) - ROME, 07 JAN - Iran has executed two other men following street demonstrations.
This was announced by the country's judicial authority.
The two were accused of killing a paramilitary during the demonstrations that erupted following the death in custody of the young Kurdish Mahsa Amini.
"Mohammad Mahdi Karami and Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, the main perpetrators of the crime that led to the martyrdom of Rouhollah Ajamian, were hanged this morning," Mizan Online news agency wrote.
The two were part of a group of 16 people arrested for the killing of paramilitary Ajamian: five were sentenced to death and another 11, including three minors, received long prison sentences, up to 25 years.
All of them had taken part in a ceremony marking the 40th day since the killing of another protester, Hadis Najafir, by the security forces.
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal by Karami and Hosseini on January 3.
Two other convicted youths, Mohsen Shekari and Majidreza Rahnavard have already been hanged.
