On Monday, a young man named Majidreza Rahnavard was executed by the Iranian government. He is the second protester officially convicted and executed since the anti-regime protests began in September, over the death of Masah Amini while in the custody of Iran's morality police. Nearly 500 other protesters have also been killed by police and security forces during the protests.

We hear from Hadi Ghaemi, Executive Director for the Center for Human Rights in Iran, about the escalating situation and the continuing determination of the protesters.
