Tehran’s Revolutionary Court sentenced the sixth person to death on Sunday, the judicial authority’s news site said, in connection with months of protests in Iran.
The defendant was found guilty of “drawing a knife with intent to kill, creating terror, creating insecurity in society during the recent riots”, Mizan Online reported.
The court also found the defendant guilty of “moharebeh”, which means making “war against God”, he added.
Five other people have recently been sentenced to death in connection with the protests sparked by the end of young Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini after her arrest for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
Iranian authorities call the protests “riots” and accuse the country’s Western enemies of fomenting them.
Sentences can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
