Iranian officials carried out the death sentence of a convicted militant who authorities say was involved in deadly attacks against the nation’s security forces, according to reports from the semi-official Tasnim news agency on Sunday.
The executed individual was named as Amer Ramesh, who had been taken into custody during an anti-terrorism operation conducted in Iran’s southeastern territories. Officials charged him with armed insurrection, which included participation in explosive attacks and surprise assaults directed at military targets.
Ramesh was found guilty of belonging to Jaish al-Adl, a radical Sunni Muslim organization that operates within Iran’s most economically disadvantaged province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
