PHOTO: AFPIran on Saturday executed two men for killing a paramilitary force member during unprecedented protests sparked by the death of a young woman in custody. Two men were put to death in December, sparking global outrage and new Western sanctions against Iran. The executions come in defiance of a campaign by international rights groups for the lives of the two men to be spared. The court of first instance had sentenced Karami and Hosseini to death in early December, Mizan said. IHR gave Karami's age as 22 Hossein was 39, according to another Norway-based rights group, Hengaw.
