Iran executes young man on charge of spying for Israel
Iranian authorities executed a young man named Mohammad-Amin Mahdavi-Shayesteh for alleged espionage on behalf of Israel on Monday morning, the judiciary's news outlet reported.
The deceased, 26, was arrested in 2023.
"According to case documents, he was the ringleader of a cyber network linked to Mossad and had knowingly cooperated with the Zionist regime’s intelligence," the judiciary said.
The judiciary also accused him of having “close ties” with Iran International TV.
Iran International denies the judiciary’s claim that the individual in question is connected to this network.
The independent NGO Iran Human Rights reported last year that the charges against him included “insulting Islamic sanctities” and “collaborating with the enemy.”
It added that the death sentence was issued following confessions obtained under torture.
