Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed on Friday to press on with a security crackdown on protesters a day after the execution of a man over recent anti-government unrest that drew a chorus of Western condemnation.

Nationwide protests that erupted after the death in police custody of 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman Mahsa Amini on September 16 pose one of the biggest challenges to the theocratic rule in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

State media published a video of what it said was Shekari’s confession where he appears with a bruise on his right cheek. “Under the slogan of supporting human rights or women’s rights, incite and promote violence against the integrity of the nation and Iran’s national security,” ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said in a statement carried by state media.
