DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran executed on Tuesday a man charged with killing a police officer and injuring five others after running them over with a car during a nationwide protest movement in 2022, the judiciary's Mizan news agency said.

The Sept. 2022 death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman arrested for allegedly flouting the Islamic Republic's mandatory dress code, sparked months of anti-government protest in the biggest show of opposition to the authorities in years.
