Iran Authorities Executes 27 Year Old wrestler Who Trump Asked Be Spared
Iranian state TV on Saturday reported that the country’s authorities executed a wrestler for allegedly murdering a man, after President Trump asked for the 27-year-old condemned man’s life to be spared.
State TV quoted the chief justice of Fars province, Kazem Mousavi, as saying: “The retaliation sentence against Navid Afkari, the killer of Hassan Torkaman, was carried out this morning in Adelabad prison in Shiraz.”
Afkari’s case had drawn the attention of a social media campaign that portrayed him and his brothers as victims targeted over participating in protests against Iran’s Shiite theocracy in 2018.
