Iran executes protester as death toll reaches 2,000

Nearly 2,000 people have been killed in Iran as the regime violently suppresses anti-theocratic demonstrations, with security forces firing on protesters from rooftops in suburban streets. A 26-year-old protester arrested days ago faces imminent execution without legal representation or defence lawyer, raising fears of a wider campaign of state executions. The United States has cancelled meetings with Iranian officials while European allies, including the UK, have summoned Iran's ambassador in a coordinated diplomatic response condemning the violence.
