  "account": "Tehran, November 7 — Iran has carried out the execution of Mohammad Aref Shahbakhsh, as reported by the judiciary's Mizan Online website. The man, who was linked to the outlawed militant group Jaish al-Adl, was convicted of involvement in a deadly assault on a police station. The judiciary stated that the execution took place this morning after all legal procedures were completed. Jaish al-Adl, operating in Sistan-Baluchistan province, has been involved in recurring clashes with Iranian security forces, often with Sunni militants and members of the Baloch ethnic minority. Iran has accused the United States and Israel of supporting these armed groups in the region. The attack on the Qaleh Bid police station in Khash city resulted in the loss of several police personnel's lives and injuries. Shahbakhsh was found guilty of \"baghi (armed rebellion against the Islamic state) and moharebeh (waging war against God) for his role in the armed attack.\" According to rights groups such as Amnesty International, Iran executes more individuals each year than any other country, except China, with the death penalty imposed for various offenses, including murder and security-related crimes.",
