伊朗周二处死了两名被控在1月抗议活动中杀害警察的男子[1]。被处死者为Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani和Amir Hossein Safari Hosseinabadi[1]。两人被指在中部城市伊斯法罕纵火烧毁警察局、杀害4名警察并破坏公共财产[1]。伊斯法罕距首都德黑兰约400公里[1]。
这两人是伊朗1月全国大规模抗议后被逮捕的数万人中最新被执行死刑的人员[1]。伊朗曾在7月同一案件中处死另外两人[1]。根据伊朗官方说法，抗议活动造成超过3000人死亡，而人权组织的统计数字则超过7000人[1]。这场抗议始于12月末并延续至1月，期间遭到安全部队的严厉镇压[1]。
Iran carried out executions of two men on Tuesday who were convicted of killing four police officers during nationwide protests in January [1]. Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amir Hossein Safari Hosseinabadi were sentenced to death for the killings, as well as for setting fire to a police station and destroying public property in Isfahan, a city approximately 400 kilometers from the capital Tehran [1].
The two executions represent the latest capital sentences imposed in connection with the January unrest, which saw tens of thousands arrested following the widespread demonstrations [1]. Iran had previously executed two other individuals in the same case in July [1]. The January protests, which began in late December and extended into the new year, were met with severe crackdowns by security forces [1]. According to Iranian officials, the unrest resulted in over 3,000 deaths, though human rights organizations have reported the toll exceeded 7,000 [1].
