TEHRAN, Iran - An Iranian court has convicted another opposition activist on charges related to the country's post-election turmoil and sentenced him to death, the judiciary said Tuesday.
The sentencing brings to at least 10 the number of those facing the death penalty in a mass trial over the unrest following Iran's disputed June presidential elections.
The Web site of the country's judiciary said the activist was convicted of Moharebeh, or defiance of God, and handed the capital punishment. The report also said that eight more people were sentenced to unspecified prison terms.
