Iran executed mountaineer and musician Ali Sina Mostafavi, 38, on Wednesday, according to state sources, continuing the Islamic Republic’s use of executions as punishment against protesters. The judiciary said he carried out armed attacks during the six-week war with Israel and the United States earlier this year, supported exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, and maintained links with Israel.

Mostafavi, from Bam in Kerman province, was executed after the Supreme Court upheld a death sentence handed down by a Revolutionary Court in Kerman, the judiciary-affiliated Mizan news agency reported.

Human rights groups had warned less than 24 hours earlier that he had been moved to solitary confinement and his family summoned for a final visit. Pahlavi’s communications team then issued an urgent appeal, saying he had been tortured into confessing and convicted in a sham trial.
