Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The execution comes as other detainees also face possible death penalty for their involvement in the protests, which began first as an outcry against Iran's morality police and have expanded into one of the most serious challenges to Iran's theocracy since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
41% : That charge has been levied against others in the decades since 1979 and carries the death penalty.
33% : Iran has been rocked by protests since the Sept. 16 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died after being detained by the country's morality police.
31% : It accused the man of blocking a street and attacking a security force member with a machete in Tehran.
21% : Iran said Thursday it executed a prisoner convicted for a crime allegedly committed during the country's ongoing nationwide protests, the first such death penalty carried out by Tehran.
