The IHRNGO says Mohammadi, Saeed Davodi and Mehdi Ghasemi were accused of being involved with the murders of two police officers during recent nationwide unrest -- prior to the country being attacked by the U.S. and Israel -- and are the first people to be hanged over these protests.

IHRNGO Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said Saleh's trial was "grossly unfair" and said he was tortured and coerced into confessing.
Amiry-Moghaddam warned that protesters are at "risk of mass executions" ... saying, "The Islamic Republic is fighting for its survival and knows that the greatest threat to its existence comes from the Iranian people who demand fundamental change."
Nima told Fox News that Iran should be banned from international competitions "until it halts executions of protesters and athletes, releases those jailed in sham trials, and ends retaliation against competitors who speak out or defect."
Mohammadi won several wrestling tournaments in Russia and Iran, and had qualified for an Iranian national team in 2023.

Ricochet's controversial post telling a woman he's "glad" she has multiple sclerosis has had a major impact on his family -- the AEW star's wife, former WWE announcer Samantha Irvin, went to social media to share deeply concerning messages she has received amid the backlash.
Irvin -- who deactivated her X account after her husband's distasteful exchange -- published several screenshots of DMs she's gotten on Instagram this week ... with some users going as far as threatening her and Ricochet's lives.
