Iran court sentences protester to death
"An Iranian court sentenced a protester to death for what a Tehran judiciary-linked website said Sunday was connected to "riots" following weeks of demonstrations against Iran's ruling party.
The big picture: It's believed to be the first death penalty issued in response to the protests, which erupted following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was detained for wearing an "improper hijab," Iran's mandatory head covering, per AP.
Iranian authorities have charged over 2,000 people since the unrest began last September and hundreds more in three provinces Sunday, DW notes.
Details: The judiciary-linked Mizan website said the person was sentenced to death for "setting fire to a government building, disturbing public order, assembly and conspiracy to commit a crime against national security, and an enemy of God and corruption on earth."
Another five people were sentenced to prison terms that ranged from five to 10 years for "gathering and conspiring to commit crimes against national security and disturbing public order," according to Mizan."
