38% : According to the judiciary reports over the past few weeks, at least 20 more people are currently either on death row or charged with "waging war against God" and "corruption on Earth" for participating in the protests, which -- according to Iran's Sharia law -- are punishable by execution.
37% : On Thursday, Mohsen Shekari was executed for closing a street in Tehran and injuring a policeman with a knife.
34% : LONDON -- Iran on Monday executed a second man, 22-year-old Majid Reza Rahnavard, who had been convicted on charges of "waging war against God" amid ongoing protests in the country.
30% : A lawyer in Iran, who could not be identified due to security concerns, previously told ABC News the judicial process behind Shekari's trial and execution "was not transparent and not normal at all.""Crimes that are punishable by death, such as 'moharebeh,' must have a lawyer in the case," the lawyer said.
