abc.net.au/news/iran-executes-british-iranian-accused-of-spying/101856400Iran has executed a British-Iranian national who once served as its deputy defence minister, its judiciary says, defying calls from London for his release after he was handed the death sentence on charges of spying for Britain.

The Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency reported the execution, without saying when it had taken place. In an audio recording purportedly from Mr Akbari and broadcast by BBC Persian on Wednesday, he said he had confessed to crimes he had not committed after extensive torture. Iranian state media, which have portrayed Mr Akbari as a super spy, broadcast a video on Thursday that they said showed that he played a role in the 2020 assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, killed in an attack outside Tehran which authorities blamed at the time on Israel.

'Shameful': Australian government blasts Iran’s killing of protestersThe Australian government has blasted the Iranian regime for using capital punishment to 'intimidate and silence citizens', but the Coalition is calling on Labor to do more. You mean the coalition that's caused the deaths of thousands of Australian citizens over the last few years? “Officials in the UK and EU are moving towards proscribing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation and the Australian government should be taking the same path,” Senator Chandler told The Australian.' Gone are the days OZ Gov listens to Murdoch or a mad Liberal. Both irrelevant. Yeah Cos in Australia our police are civilised enough to just pepper spray and kick the shit out of innocent civilians for protesting their freedom of choice. The ‘lucky country’ indeed.
