Iran has executed two men convicted of attempting to storm a military facility and access an armoury during unrest in January, Reuters says, citing the Mizan news outlet of its judiciary.

The men, identified as Mohammadamin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast, were among a group of four in the same case who faced execution, according to rights group Amnesty International.

Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the sentences for the two defendants who were among “rioters who sought to commit mass murder” by trying to steal weapons and military equipment, the outlet added.

In a recent report, Amnesty said 11 men faced a risk of imminent execution for participation in the protests.
