Hashem Shaabani, an Arab-Iranian poet and human rights activist has been executed for being an enemy of God and threatening national security.
According to Aljazeera, Shaabani was hanged in unidentified prison on January 27.
Shaabani, who spoke out against the treatment of ethnic Arabs in the province of Khuzestan, had been in prison since February or March 2011 after being arrested for being a Mohareb, or "enemy of God". Last July, the Islamic Revolutionary Tribunal found Shaabani and 13 other people guilty of "waging war on God" and spreading "corruption on earth".
According to BBC Persian, officials from the Ministry of Information informed the condemned men's families that they had been hanged, and they would be subsequently informed on the location of the men's burial site.
Shaabani was the founder of Dialogue Institute and was popular for his Arabic and Persian poems.
