Tehran - Two Iranian Kuridsh Journalists to be Executed
Tehran - Two Iranian Kurdish journalists were to be executed in the Kurdistan province in north-western Iran, state news agency IRNA reported Tuesday. IRNA quoted judiciary spokesman Ali-Reza Jamshidi as saying the two, from the Kurdish city Sanadaj, were to be executed on charges of "Moharebeh", an Islamic term meaning enmity with God and considered a capital crime. The two journalists, identified by international rights groups as Adnan Hassanpour and Abdolvahed Botimar, were sentenced earlier this month by a revolutionary court in Kurdistan.
