The defendant was found guilty of “pulling
out a knife with the intention of killing, spreading terror, creating
insecurity in society during recent riots”, Mizan Online reported.
The court also found the defendant guilty of
“moharebeh”, which means waging “war against God”, it added.
Five others have recently been sentenced to
death in connection with the protests, triggered by the death of young Kurdish
woman
Mahsa Amini after her arrest for an alleged contravention of the Islamic
republic’s strict dress code for women.
Authorities in Iran describe the protests as
“riots” and accuse the country’s Western foes of fomenting them.
The sentences can be appealed in front of the
Supreme Court.
