More Iranians face possible execution as authorities seek to crush continuing unrest

People protest against the Iranian government at a demonstration in Istanbul, Turkey, on Saturday. In recognition of those allegedly executed by the Iranian government, protesters wore nooses around their necks and held photographs of people who have been killed.

The executions are Tehran's main response to protests that have swept the country since September, and are seen as a sign that Iran's clerical leadership intends to continue a violent crackdown.
