Iranian authorities on Tuesday hanged two people convicted of being part of the Islamic State group, the judiciary’s news website reported.
“Following the Supreme Court’s final verdict and in accordance with legal procedure, two members of the terrorist Islamic State group, Mohiyodin Abdollahi and Hossein Palani, were hanged this morning,” Mizan Online said.
It did not specify the date of their arrest or of the legal proceedings against them.
