Iran’s Revolutionary Court has sentenced an anti-government protester to death and handed down jail terms to five others, state media said on Sunday amid persistent unrest in the country.
The ruling likely marks the first death sentence in the trials of those arrested for participating in protests that have swept Iran over the past weeks demanding an end to clerical rule.
Mizan, a news website linked to Iran’s judiciary, said the death sentence followed on charges of the protester setting fire to a government building.
The five prison terms ranged from five to 10 years and alleged national security and public order violations.
