NCRI – The mullahs' Supreme Court upheld an earlier death sentence by a lower court for three Kurdish political activists Farzad Kamangar, Ali Heidarian and Farhad Vakili on Friday. The three were first arrested on April 2006 and tried in the lower court in February 2007.
The three political prisoners have been tortured repeatedly while in jail in the past three years.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the international human rights organizations and the United Nations to condemn the violation of human rights by the ruling clerics and adopt urgent measures to save the lives of political prisoners in Iran.
