Iranian Protester Scheduled for Execution, Says Human Rights Group

His family was informed of the death sentence but left uninformed about the judicial process, raising concerns about the use of capital punishment to suppress protests. The protests have resulted in a death toll exceeding 2000, with demonstrators urging continued resistance despite government crackdowns. Former President Donald Trump has called for ongoing protests against the Iranian regime, promising support.
