The European Union said it was "appalled" after Iran on Saturday executed two men for killing a paramilitary force member during protests sparked by a young woman's death in custody.

"The EU is appalled by the execution of Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini arrested and sentenced to death in connection with the ongoing protests in Iran," the spokesperson for EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said in a statement.
