Dubai, Apr 22 (AP) Iran hanged a man on Wednesday over alleged ties to Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency as Tehran continues a series of executions during the war, and after nationwide protests in January.
The Mizan news agency of Iran’s judiciary announced the execution of Mehdi Farid.
It described Farid as working for a “sensitive state organisation” and passing information to the Israeli spy agency.
It said Farid was convicted in Iran’s Qom province.
Human rights activists have long said Iran convicts people in closed-door trials without allowing defendants to properly defend themselves.
There have been multiple executions of alleged spies recently, as well as protesters and those affiliated with an Iranian exiled opposition group.
