Iran has lately executed a British-Iranian nationwide, Alireza Akbari, a former deputy defence minister, on expenses of spying for Britain. Akbari’s execution comes as Iranian authorities have crushed anti-government protests and carried out 4 different executions. Western nations, together with the US and the EU, have denounced Iran’s demise sentences and trials as flawed.

Nationwide anti-government demonstrations erupted in Iran in September after the demise of Kurdish Iranian girl Mahsa Amini, who morality police had detained for violating the nation’s gown code.
