Iran has executed three men following the protests that happened in January. The government says the men were involved in 'armed unrest.'
These executions are part of a larger crackdown. Reports suggest that as many as 10 other people have also been given the death penalty for their roles in the protests. One man, identified as Amir Delshad, is among those recently sentenced to death.
The news has sparked strong reactions. Many citizens inside Iran are speaking out against the hangings. There is also growing criticism regarding the international response to these events, with some people feeling that the United States and other global leaders have not done enough to help.
While state-run news outlets in Iran describe the men as being involved in armed attacks, human rights groups and protesters argue that these trials are unfair. They believe these sentences are being used to silence anyone who speaks out against the government.
The situation remains tense as more details about these trials continue to come to light.
