LONDON: The Iranian regime is set to execute a second wrestler just months after it hanged champion athlete Navid Afkari amid international pleas for clemency.
Mehdi Ali Hosseini, 29, was arrested in 2015 and charged with murder following a group brawl.
Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reported that he is expected to be imminently executed because the victim’s family refused to pardon him.
