Reza Pahlavi is the son of the last shah of Iran, who led the country before the ayatollahs took over. A person has carried out an action in connection with his visit to the parliament, though it is unclear who specifically was responsible for the dolls at Sergelstorg. Human rights organizations report that at least 1,639 people were executed in Iran last year, a 68 percent increase from the previous year and the largest number since 1989.
Death penalty by hanging is used to a greater extent as a method for executions in the country, with 48 women hanged during 2025. According to these organizations, if the Islamist regime in Iran survives the current crisis, there is an overwhelming risk that executions will be used as punishment on a broader front and as a tool for repression, though the exact nature of this crisis remains unspecified. Separately, a car chase broke out on the E18 in Västerås near the Rocklunda interchange during the night towards Monday.
Police said the chase started after a car refused to stop for a check, lasted about ten minutes at times at high speeds, and involved ramming attempts against the vehicle, though the specifics of these attempts are not detailed. The police eventually stopped the car using a spike strip, and the driver, a man in his 40s, was arrested. The man is now suspected of several crimes, including aggravated offenses, but the exact charges have not been disclosed.
