Source: U.S. Department of State Statement by Philip J. Crowley, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Public Affair March 5, 2010 - The United States notes with great concern reports the Iranian courts have upheld a death sentence for 20-year-old university student Mohammad Amin Valian. Valian was arrested for throwing stones during the December 27 Ashura demonstrations, a crime to which he confessed. For this minor act, he was found guilty of ‘warring against God.’ It appears this would be the first person facing execution after the election, although we do note due process concerns about other executions. We find this disproportionate punishment deplorable and urge his immediate release. |
