Iran: repentance

In the city of Natanz, Isfahan province is a man, Baqer Sajjadii (36 year-old), hanged.
He was sentenced for murder. This was reported by daily Kashan.

Iranpressnews reports that according to human rights activists in Iran a prisoner Mohammad Daroozi was severely beaten in Gachsaronprison, the night before his execution because
“he refused to consent to an Islamic repentance and he refused to disbelieve in the Islamic as his faith”.
He and two other men were hanged in public.



Reporters without Borders condemned the arrest of the three journalists as another sign of the government being afraid of contacts between journalists and foreign organizations and media.
Also they are concerned about the arrest of Adnan Hassanpour, a journalist in Iranian Kurdistan. On January 25 he was arrested in Sanadaj.
Since then his family has no news of him.
He works for weekly Asou, which publication has been suspended since 2005 on the orders of the Culture and Islamic Orientation Ministry, because it carried articles about the tense situation in Iranian Kurdistan.
