- Iran hangs 2 protesters in public, crowd cries 'dishonorable' as security fires tear gas
Iran publicly hanged two men, Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, in Isfahan's Shahid Alikhani Square over alleged involvement in January's anti-government protests. Onlookers reportedly chanted 'Dishonorable' before security forces dispersed the crowd with tear gas, and the judiciary accused the men of charges including 'enmity against God' and killing four security officers.
