Another young Iranian protester arrested during the riots was sentenced to death. Again, an execution came after a political trial: The US news agency for human rights activists Hrana reports: Arshia Takdastan, 18, was sentenced to death by a revolutionary court in the northern city of Sari, in the province of Mazandaran.
The charges that led to the death sentence are “enmity with God” and “corruption on earth”. Just like in the case of Mehdi Mohammadifard, a former student of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Bologna arrested during the protests in Nowshahr, tortured and died after twenty days in a coma.
