Outcry grows over Iran’s execution of dissident
AFP, PARIS
Iran on Monday faced a growing international backlash over its execution of the France-based dissident Ruhollah Zam, with Western governments accusing Tehran of abducting him abroad to be put on trial.
Zam was hanged on Saturday after being sentenced to death over his role in protests during the winter of 2017-2018, when he ran a popular social media channel that rallied regime opponents.
He had lived in Paris for several years after being granted refugee status in France.
