In response to an October attack on the revered Shiite Muslim shrine of Shah Cheragh, Iran carried out the public hangings of two men on Saturday, as announced by the judiciary. The attack, which occurred on October 26, was claimed by the Sunni Muslim extremist group Islamic State (IS) and resulted in the deaths of 13 people, with 30 others wounded.
The judiciary’s Mizan Online website confirmed the execution of two individuals involved in the terrorist attack. The hanging took place at dawn on a street near the Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz, the capital of Fars province. The two men were identified as Mohammad Ramez Rashidi and Naeem Hashem Qatali.
