Opposition Leader To Be Hanged

Zamani

Unconfirmed news out of Iran:

[Mowcamp] reported that [Mohammed Reza] Ali-Zamani “was transferred on Monday from Evin prison ward 209 to Revolutionary Court number 15, presided over by Justice Salabati and the execution verdict was communicated to him.” If confirmed, it would be the first death sentence yet in the trials of more than 100 opposition supporters for allegedly fomenting street violence following President Ahmadinejad’s disputed election victory in June.
