Iran's regime executes Mohsen Shekari (محسن شکاری) over nationwide protests

On December 8, 2022, Iran’s regime executed 23-year-old Mohsen Shekari (محسن شکاری).
Shekari was arrested in Tehran during the nationwide uprisings that began in September.
The protests have spread to more than 280 cities with people across Iran demanding regime change.
He is the first political prisoner to be officially executed for taking part in these protests.
He was accused of “Moharebeh” (enmity against God), a vague charge the regime uses against dissidents.
The regime’s judiciary claimed that Shekari had “blocked Tehran’s Sattarkhan street” and attempted to attack Basij forces.
Basij is a brutal paramilitary force that has killed hundreds of protesters in recent months.
The regime has already charged dozens of other protesters with moharebeh.
It is also torturing prisoners to extract incriminating confessions.
Human rights organizations have warned against the regime’s intention to execute protesters.
