US urges Iran not to execute three people in connection with protests
The US State Department on Thursday called on Iran not to carry out the executions of three people in connection with their participation in anti-government protests that spread following the death last year of a young Iranian Kurdish woman.
State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters the execution of Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi and Saeed Yaghoubi would be an affront to human rights.
