Iran publicly hanged two young men Tuesday over their alleged roles in January's nationwide anti-government protests, as onlookers chanted "Dishonorable, dishonorable!" before security forces fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an exiled Iranian opposition group. The NCRI said onlookers condemned the executions before security forces fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. The pair were said to be among 12 protesters sentenced to death in what has become known as the Alikhani Square case. "Public executions are a cruel form of state terror that the international community must not tolerate," he added.
