"Rahnavard was sentenced to death based on coerced confessions, after a grossly unfair process and a show trial. This crime must be met with serious consequences for the Islamic
Republic," a representative of the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group tweeted. Amnesty International also echoed similar sentiments, saying that "the clear aim of Iranian
authorities is to instil fear among the public in a desperate attempt to cling to power and end the popular uprising." Human rights groups outside Iran have alleged that over 500
people, including several children, have been killed amid the protests, which began in September over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. _(With inputs from Al Jazeera.)_
