PARIS: Iran on Saturday executed two men for killing a paramilitary force member during unprecedented protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.

The latest hangings double the number of executions to four over the nationwide protests, which escalated since mid-September into calls for an end to Iran's clerical regime.
