Two men, Erfan Esfandiyari and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, were executed by hanging in Iran following their conviction for the murder of police officers during anti-government protests. These demonstrations, which escalated in December and January, initially began as a response to rising living costs but evolved into broader anti-regime movements.

According to Iranian judicial authorities, the two were found guilty of a particularly brutal attack in Isfahan, where they allegedly tied police officers to a traffic sign with ropes, assaulted them with stones, and set them on fire after dousing them with gasoline. The executions were announced publicly, and they mark a continuation of severe crackdowns on dissent in the country during a period of heightened political tensions.
