Iran Condemns To Death Six Men Over Attacks In Southwest

Iran has sentenced to death six men over attacks carried out by an ethnic Arab "terrorist group" active in a province bordering Iraq, the judiciary said on March 6. The judiciary's Mizan Online website court said authorities had "sentenced six members of the Harakat al-Nidal terrorist group to death" in Ahvaz, the capital of the southwestern Khuzestan Province. They were found guilty of "armed operations" between 2017 and 2019 that killed four people, including a soldier and two members of the Basij paramilitary force, the report said.
