Iran: deathsentences

Today, October 10th, is World Day Against the Death Penalty.

Amnesty International urges Iran to rescind the deathsentence imposed to Mohammad-Reza Ali-Zamani,37 , the first person to be sentenced to death in connection with protests following the elections.
He is sentenced to death for enmity against God, for membership of Anjoman-e Padeshahi-e Iran (API), propaganda against the system, insulting the holy sanctities, gathering and colluding with intent to harm national internal security as well as of leaving the country illegally to visit Iraq where he was alleged to have met US military officials.
Zamani is one of more than 100 people currently standing trial in the first mass showproces.
Amnesty fears that Zamani’s death sentence will pave the way for more death sentences against those being tried on similar offences.
At least 13 other people are also currently at risk of being executed in Iran.
