On December 12, Tehran’s Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office said that authorities executed Zam, 42, following conviction on charges including “sowing corruption on earth,” a vague charge used by Iranian authorities against political dissidents. Zam faced a total of 17 charges, including establishing Amadnews to disrupt national security, spying for French and Israeli intelligence authorities, and collusion to act against national security. Zam’s father wrote on social media that his son did not know his verdict had been upheld during their last visit with him the day before the execution.
