Iran is carrying out the death penalty for opposition journalist Ruhollah Zam

On Saturday, the Iranian authorities carried out the death sentence of opposition journalist Ruhollah Zam.

The Iranian judiciary had issued a verdict to execute journalist Ruhollah Zam, accused of “corruption on the ground”, months after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced his arrest under mysterious circumstances.

The “corruption on the ground” charge does not clarify a specific crime, but it is a crime that the Iranian authorities sometimes use in cases involving allegations of attempts to overthrow the government in the country.

It is noteworthy that Zam, who lived in France, was arrested last year. As to how and where this was done, it is unclear. According to the French Foreign Ministry, Zam left the country on October 11 and three days later, the Revolutionary Guard in Iran announced his arrest.

The Revolutionary Guard claimed at the time that Ruhollah Zam “was led by the French intelligence service, receiving support from the US and Israeli intelligence services, and in connection with other intelligence services, and was being protected 24 hours a day from open and open way and in multiple multi-loop frames, “based on what I quoted. The semi-official Iranian news agency Fars.

The Revolutionary Guard added that the “professional and intelligent” operation used “modern and innovative” methods to deceive foreign intelligence services in order to lure Ruhullah Zam into the country and arrest him in his capacity as director of the AMNews website.
