Iran said Monday it executed its second prisoner detained amid the nationwide protests now challenging the country's theocracy, airing footage on state television it claimed showed him stabbing a man to death and running away.
The execution of Majidreza Rahnavard, less than a month after he allegedly carried out the fatal stabbings of two security officials, shows the speed at which Iran now carries out death sentences for those detained in the demonstrations the government hopes to put down.

..."The Iranian state executed 23-year-old Mohsen Shekari, the first prisoner detained during demonstrations, last Thursday.
Rights groups have said Shekari was tortured and forced to confess to injuring a security guard with a knife and blocking a city street.
So far this year Iran has executed over 500 prisoners, the highest number in five years, according to the Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights."

Nowhere is safe, as we have an abundance of bad actors and those who seek glory for their questionable causes!
