The barbaric Iranian regime reportedly tortured a dad to death for the high crime of using the internet and abused and executed a 21-year-old karate champ for merely attending a protest.

Father of two Hesam Alaeddin, 40, was beaten to death after being arrested for using Starlink to access the internet — which has been banned in the country since the US-Iran war started Feb. 28.

Alaeddin was detained sometime in the past two weeks after being accused of connecting to the internet with Starlink, IranWire reported.

Iranian regime police searched his home, and when they found the Starlink device, they beat him in the family’s residence until he died, according to IranWire.

Alaeddin’s body was then confiscated and wasn’t returned until his family agreed to not speak about what happened, the outlet reported. He was finally buried Wednesday, but only under tight police security.

The Iranian regime has weaponized nationwide internet blackouts to control its people for years, but this ban been one of the most brutal as depraved leaders struggle to hold power while battling US and Israeli forces battering the country after war broke out.

Insiders have said the regime is using the blackout to keep its people in the dark about the realities of Iran’s dire position in the war — and to keep the world from seeing what’s being done to the Iranian people to crush dissent.

That reality includes violence similar to what happened in January, when nearly 40,000 people were killed while participating in protests against the regime.

Stories of ongoing executions have filled the headlines throughout the Iran war, even after the ceasefire with the US started April 7.

Among those also recently executed was Sassan Azadvar Joonqani, a 21-year-old karate champion who was hung until dead Thursday for “effective cooperation with the enemy” and “enmity against God,” Euro news reported.
