Iran sentenced three more persons to death for participating in anti-hijab protests and 'waging war on God', Mizan news agency reported. The convicts have been identified as Saleh Mirhashemi, Majid Kazemi, and Saeid Yaghoubi. Notably, four persons have so far been executed since September last year, when the mass protests began. The country faces global criticism for its crackdown on protesters and subsequent executions.
