Iran has executed three protesters convicted of killing two police officers during nationwide anti-government demonstrations in January, according to the country's judiciary’s Mizan news agency.

Iran’s judiciary said the men were found guilty of murder and “waging war against God,” along with allegations of acting in favor of Israel and the United States.

The protests, initially triggered by economic hardship, spread across the country earlier this year.

A US-based rights group, Human Rights Activists News Agency, has claimed that more than 6,000 protesters were killed during the unrest.
