Iran hangs 21-year-old protester over Isfahan anti-regime demonstrations...

The Islamic regime in Iran executed 21-year-old Alireza Raeisi for his role in January 2026 anti-government protests in Isfahan. Authorities charged him with "waging war against God" and "corruption on Earth," issuing two death sentences after proceedings that human-rights groups described as closed-door with limited legal access and evidence of coerced statements.

Raeisi's case highlights ongoing repression by Iran's theocratic authorities against domestic dissent. The execution adds to a pattern of harsh penalties imposed on protesters challenging the regime.
