#Iran on Monday executed a second man in connection with #protests that have shaken the regime for months, defying an international outcry over its use of capital punishment against those involved in the movement. Majidreza Rahnavard, 23, had been sentenced to death by a court in the city of Mashhad for killing two members of the security forces with a knife, and wounding four other people, the judiciary's Mizan Online news agency reported. For more on the #crackdown on the on-going popular protests in Iran, FRANCE 24 is joined by Fanny Gallois, Head of Liberties Program at Amnesty International France. She asserts that "authorities are really using this death sentence threat to try to instill fear among the population and to try to just deter people from joining the protests. So no one is really safe in this context."
