Iran has executed a journalist accused of involvement with a Sunni militant group blamed for a spate of attacks in the south-east, officials have said.
Judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said Yaqoub Mehrnehad and another man were hanged on Monday in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province. Mr Mehrnehad was convicted in February of being a member of Jundallah and of "crimes against national security".
He was arrested in Zahedan last year while reporting for a Tehran newspaper. Reports say the journalist also ran a charity apparently focused on improving childhood education.

- Iran executes peaceful civil rights advocate Ya’qub Mehrnahad
August 21, 2008
Ya’qub Mehrnahad was executed on August 4, 2008 (see http://www.abfiran.org/english/memo...). Although it attracted no international news coverage or official reaction, his death shocked human rights advocates who see in his case an escalation of violence by the Islamic Republic against its peaceful opponents. A 28-year-old father of three from Balūchestān, Mehrnahad was the president of the Youth Voice of Justice Association (YVJA), a legally-registered organization, founded in 2002, that focuses on accountability, education and training, discrimination, and civic responsibility. He also worked for a local publication called Mardomsalary (Democracy).
