Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli-Zare were accused of burning the Quran and insulting the Prophet.
There has been a surge in executions in the Islamic Republic, prompting protests inside Iran and abroadIran has executed two men who were convicted of "burning the Quran" and "insulting the Prophet of Islam", the country's judiciary says.
Mizan said Yousef Mehrad and Sadrollah Fazeli-Zare were hanged at Arak Prison in central Iran on Monday morning. The Supreme Court rejected their appeals against the verdicts and upheld their death sentences later that year, Mizan said, adding that both men had "clearly confessed to their crimes". "These executions must be a turning point in the relations between the Islamic Republic and countries respecting the freedom of expression," he added. "Lack of a strong reaction by the international community sends a green light to the Islamic Republic and their ideological allies worldwide."
