Iran hangs two anti-government protesters in public after courts convict them of attacking police officers, according to reports from Free Malaysia Today and NDTV. Both outlets describe the same underlying incident, saying the protesters assaulted police, restrained them, and subjected them to violence involving gasoline and fire.

NDTV similarly says the guilty protesters attacked police officers, including an account that they used machetes, tied officers to road signs, pulled them on the ground, then doused them with gasoline and set them on fire. The reports present the executions as occurring after the convictions, with the two men hanged in public. Both sources characterize the men as anti-government protesters and focus on the police assault and arson-related details that led to the convictions.
