Iran executes two people over post-election unrest

Source: Reuters

Iran executed two people on Thursday over widespread street unrest that erupted after the Islamic Republic's disputed presidential election in June, an Iranian news agency reported.

The two were among 11 people who had been sentenced to death over post-election incidents, the ISNA agency said.

The prisoners were being charged with offenses including moharebeh (waging war against God), efforts to overthrow the Islamic establishment and membership of armed groups, the ISNA students agency said. The presidential election plunged Iran into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Dozens of people were killed in clashes between security forces and opposition supporters across Iran since the elections, including a nephew of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.

A fierce government crackdown had all but crushed mass street protests, which the opposition says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by fraud.

... Mr Zamani and Mr Rahmanipour were convicted after allegedly confessing to membership of a militant royalist group and involvement in a Western-backed bomb plot to disrupt the election. Lawyers and relatives protested that they had no connection to the protests, noting that they had been arrested three months before the election and had confessed to a mosque bombing that had been written off earlier as an accidental blast ... Mr Rahmanipour and Mr Zamani were found guilty of being “enemies of God” and of belonging to the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, which seeks the return of the monarchy. In August, Mr Rahmanipour, 19, was reported to have confessed to receiving training from Western governments in how to foment instability during the June election. However, Ms Sotoudeh said that he had been arrested along with his family, including his pregnant sister, in April last year and coerced into the confession. “He confessed because of threats against his family,” she said.

I went to so many at 19. But I was here.

I don't know why the neoCONs hate Iran so much? The people running Iran and the neoCONs all think and act alike.

oppressed down, no matter how many he murders. The uprising in Iran will continue, one day may they be victorious.

he outsource to theothugs?

The young man was accused of experimenting with explosives since he was a teen as well as being with the terrorist opposition Muhahedeen-e-khalgh (in exile in Iraq).
But no evidence he actually killed anyone and probably confessed under threat to his pregnant sister and father.
Very sad indeed :(
