  "account": "Iran executed 38-year-old Ali Sina Mostafavi on Wednesday after a Supreme Court overturned his death sentence, according to state sources. The judiciary claims he was involved in armed attacks during the recent conflict with Israel and the United States, supported exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, and had links with Israel. Mostafavi, from Bam in Kerman province, was executed following an upheld death sentence by a Revolutionary Court in Kerman, reported Mizan news agency. Human rights groups had previously raised concerns about his treatment in detention and the circumstances of his conviction, alleging torture and a sham trial. The League for the Defense of Human Rights in Iran reported Mostafavi was arrested at his home on April 25 and beaten during the arrest. Pahlavi's communications team had previously appealed for help, claiming he was tortured into confessing. Iran has seen a rise in death penalty use against those accused of involvement in January protests, opposition activities, and war-related security offenses in recent months.",
