STORYLINE:
Protesters gathered at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate on Tuesday to show solidarity with Iran as the landmark was illuminated with the words “Woman, life, freedom” in multiple languages.
Many demonstrators held signs condemning the Iranian government for executing two protesters, over alleged crimes committed during the nationwide protests challenging the country's theocracy.
The execution of Mohsen Shekari was widely condemned abroad and comes as other detainees also face the possibility of the death penalty for their involvement in the protests, which began in mid-September.
Iran executed a second prisoner on Monday, publicly hanging him from a construction crane as a gruesome warning to others.
The execution of Majidreza Rahnavard came less than a month after he allegedly fatally stabbed two members of a paramilitary force after purportedly becoming angry about security forces killing protesters.
The development underscores the speed at which Iran now carries out death sentences handed down for those detained in the demonstrations that the government hopes to put down.
Activists warn that at least a dozen people already have been sentenced to death in closed-door hearings.
At least 488 people have been killed since the demonstrations began in mid-September, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that's been monitoring the protests.
Over 18,000 people have been detained by authorities amid the unrest that began over the Sept. 16 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by Iran's morality police.
