Hassan Dioband, Hamid Kazemi and Reza Zanganeh were executed Sunday, the judiciary said.

The UN rights office counted at least 27 executions linked to the January protests by August.

The judiciary said the Supreme Court upheld convictions for working for Israel and the US through Molotov and grenade attacks.

Foreign-based rights groups put the January death toll above the authorities’ 3,000 and say forces fired on protesters.

Iran executed at least 2,159 people last year, Amnesty said, and executions have risen since February’s strikes.
