A case of espionage
“The death sentence for Aghil Keshavarz, who was found guilty of spying for the Zionist regime, communicating and collaborating with the regime, and photographing military and security objects, was carried out after confirmation by the Supreme Court and in accordance with legal procedures,” the Iranian justice website Mizan said.
