The judiciary of the Islamic Republic announced that it executed two individuals who were arrested during the protests in Mashhad last December in the early hours of Wednesday.

According to the announcement from the judiciary's media center, Ali Hemmati Sistaniyan and Majid Nikandish were executed after their sentences were confirmed by the Supreme Court. The judiciary accused them of being involved in the deaths of four security forces in an area of Mashhad.

The judiciary's claim states that the two defendants confessed during interrogation and in court to attacking a chain store, setting it on fire with a Molotov cocktail, burning a bank, and vandalizing public property.

No information has been released regarding the trial process, the defendants' access to a chosen lawyer, or the conditions under which the confessions were obtained. Television confessions in the Islamic Republic's security cases have repeatedly been accused by human rights organizations of being obtained under pressure.
