#Iran has executed a second prisoner detained amid the ongoing nationwide #protests that are challenging the nation’s Islamic clerical leadership.

The protester, #MajidrezaRahnavard, had been convicted of killing two members of the security forces, the Iranian judiciary’s #Mizan news agency said.

He had also been convicted of “moharebeh” — or waging “war against God,” a charge that carries the #deathpenalty under Iran’s #Shariah or Islamic law.

Rahnavard’s execution comes less than a month after he allegedly carried out the fatal stabbings.

#Humanrights activists and political observers say that at least a dozen other protesters detained by authorities are facing a similar fate.
