COPENHAGEN: Denmark will summon Iran’s ambassador to express its “outrage” after Tehran executed two men linked to mass protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, the Danish foreign minister said on Sunday.

Iran’s envoy will be summoned to the foreign ministry “to send him the strongest possible and imaginable message that the abuses committed against his people trigger our outrage”, Lars Lokke Rasmussen told Danish news agency Ritzau. The ministry confirmed to AFP that the meeting will take place on Monday.
