    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A recent report by UN Secretary General António Guterres warned that in the seven previous cases, information “indicated that the judicial proceedings did not fulfil the requirements for due process and a fair trial”.

    The protests against Iran’s clerical establishment erupted in September 2022 following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was detained by morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly”.

    Hengaw, which focuses on Iran’s Kurdish ethnic minority, said in a statement that Zohrevand had also not been notified that his execution was imminent or granted a final meeting with his family.

    Hengaw also alleged that the Revolutionary Guards - a major military, political and economic force in Iran - had put pressure on authorities to carry out the execution.

    Last week, Hamadan’s prosecutor said a branch of the Supreme Court had confirmed the death sentence handed to a defendant convicted of the murder of Ali Nazari, a member of the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence service.

    Zohrevand was reportedly accused by prosecutors of being one of a group of five masked men who shot Nazari as he confronted students demonstrating at the Malayer Faculty of Medical Sciences in October 2022.
