A 26-year-old Iranian protester is set to be executed today for participating in anti-regime protests that have swept the country, as the world awaits possible intervention by the US.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has called on demonstrators to “keep protesting” and pledged “help is on its way”, without offering any detail about what that could entail.<\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform, the president warned the “killers and abusers” will “pay a big price”.<\/p>\n

US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), which has been accurate in multiple rounds of unrest in Iran in recent years, reports at least 2,571 people have been killed as of early Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to Norway-based rights group Hengaw, Erfan Soltani, from the city of Fardis to the west of Tehran, will be executed later today – adding to the death toll.<\/p>\n

Hengaw said Mr Soltani had been arrested in connection with protests in the city of Karaj.<\/p>\n

The Kurdish group, which documents human rights abuse in Iran<\/strong>, <\/strong>said his family had been informed about the death sentence, although they had been “deliberately kept uninformed” about the judicial process.<\/p>\n

“The rushed and non-transparent handling of this case has heightened concerns over the use of the death penalty as a tool to suppress public protests,” a statement added.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CBS News, Mr Trump has said he’ll take “very strong action” if Iran’s regime hangs protesters.<\/p>\n
