Iran has executed a man convicted of killing a security officer during the 2022 nationwide protests. The execution took place after the country’s Supreme Court upheld the death sentence in late 2025. The convicted individual, identified as Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, was found guilty of involvement in the killing of security officer Abbas Fatemiyeh during the unrest that followed the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.

According to Iran’s judiciary-affiliated news agency Mizan, Abdollahzadeh had confessed to attacking the officer. However, the human rights organization HRANA, citing a source, alleged that the confession was extracted under torture. The protests in 2022 had spread across Iran after Amini’s death, drawing widespread attention and leading to numerous arrests and trials.

The report did not specify the exact date or location of the execution, and no official comment was included regarding the allegations of forced confession.
