WTF ? Protesting an Iranian Presidential election is now considered "Waging War against God " .
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran executed two people on Thursday over widespread street unrest that erupted after the Islamic Republic's disputed presidential election in June, an Iranian news agency reported.
The two were among 11 people sentenced to death on charges including moharebeh (waging war against God), trying to overthrow the Islamic establishment and membership of armed groups, the ISNA students agency said.
The executions were the first carried out for election-related incidents and may further increase tension in Iran ahead of possible new anti-government protests next month.
