Iran executes three men accused of working for Israel, US, taking part in anti-government protests

"Iran executed three men accused of carrying out operations on behalf of Israel and the United States during January's nationwide anti-government protests, the Islamic Republic's judiciary announced on Sunday, in the latest executions of prisoners detained in connection with the uprising.

Hassan Divband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh were executed after Iran's Supreme Court upheld their death sentences, according to judicial authorities, who accused the men of participating in armed attacks, arson, and the destruction of public infrastructure during demonstrations in Karaj, west of Tehran, on January 8 and 9.
The three were convicted of participating in what the judiciary described as operational activities for Israel, the United States, and hostile groups against Iran's national security and interests. Their sentences also included the confiscation of their property.
Iranian state media alleged that the men had acted in accordance with calls for demonstrations by exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and as part of an Israeli-American plan to destabilize the country." msn
