Iran confirms two Kurdish journalists sentenced to death
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's judiciary on Tuesday for the first time confirmed that two Iranian Kurdish journalists have been sentenced to death for being "enemies of God."
Rights groups had reported that Adnan Hassanpour and Abdolvahed "Hiva" Botimar were sentenced to death on July 16 by a revolutionary court in Marivan, in Iran's northeastern Kordestan province.
"Botimar and Hassanpour have been sentenced to hanging on the charge of being mohareb," judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi told reporters, using a Koranic legal term that is usually translated as "enemy of God."
He added he was unable to confirm whether the sentence had been validated by the supreme court. Jamshidi did not give further details on their crimes.
According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the two journalists wrote for the magazine Aso (Horizons), before it was banned in August 2005.
Hassanpour published several articles on local politics and gave interviews to foreign media including Voice of America while Botimar was also a member of the environmental NGO Sabzchia, RSF said.
It said that at Hassanpour's closed door trial, he was found guilty of "activities subverting national security" and "spying," while his interviews for Voice of America were also cited by the prosecution.
It said it had no further details on Botimar's trial.
Kurds are believed to form a minority of around several million people in Iran, most of whom live in the northwestern West Azarbaijan and Kordestan provinces on the border with Turkey and Iraq.
The border area is hugely sensitive, with Iranian security forces for the past years fighting banned Kurdish separatist parties, in particular Pejak, a group linked to Turkey's outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Official statements often speak of heavy militant losses as well as deaths on the side of the security forces. Iran has also repeatedly accused the United States of seeking to stir up ethnic trouble in the area.
Iran is bound by treaty with Turkey to fight the PKK. In return, Turkey has pledged to fight Iran's main armed opposition group, the Iraq-based People's Mujahedeen.
Turkey has praised Iran's efforts to crack down on Kurdish rebels linked to the PKK, who have been waging a deadly armed struggle for self-rule in the southeast of Turkey since 1984.
An execution of a journalist is extremely unusual in Iran.
Intellectual Hashem Aghajari, who also wrote for Iranian newspapers, was sentenced to death for blasphemy after saying in a speech in 2002 that Muslims were not "monkeys" and "should not blindly follow" religious leaders.
However the verdict was commuted to five years in jail in 2004, and he was finally cleared of the charges in March 2005.
UN Human Rights Council legal experts earlier this year expressed concern about Iran's use of "mohareb" charges, saying they were usually levelled against persons accused of espionage as well as political dissidents.

The letters of shoe bomber Richard Reid: Allah says I'll be home soon
Last updated at 09:11am on 30th July 2007
Failed shoe bomber Richard Reid has told his British relatives he hopes to be free from captivity soon.
Writing from an American jail cell where he is serving a 110-year sentence for trying to blow up a transatlantic airliner carrying 200 passengers, Reid also calls on his father to convert to Islam.
The 33-year-old from Bromley, southeast London, writes: "I had a couple of good dreams about my situation changing for the better in the not too distant future so this is a blessing from Allah.
"I place my trust in Allah that he will bring that into fruition and ask him to give me patience until the time when that occurs."
Reid, who was arrested in December 2001, is held in virtual solitary confinement at the maximum security ADX Florence in Colorado. The petty criminal converted to Islam while in Feltham young offenders institution.
In the letters Reid tells his father Robin, who is a recovering drug addict living in a homeless hostel, that his deceased aunt could not be in a "better place" because she was not a Muslim.
Reid added: "How's your situation in regards to upholding the daily prayers?
"Hopefully my advice was well received and if you didn't start praying yet, I'd ask you to re-read the two letters I wrote earlier this year on that subjectand to reflect on your situation with Allah.
"As long as we strive to follow the laws which he has laid down for us then everything which occurs in this life contains some good for us."

அல்லா உலகத்துக்கு அமைதி கொண்டுவரும் விதம்
டுனீசியாவைச் சேர்ந்த லைடி பெனோமோர் என்பவர் தன்னிடம் அல்லா உலக அமைதியை கொண்டுவருவது என்று சொல்லியிருக்கிறார் என்று சொல்லிக்கொண்டு சூர்யகாந்த் பட்டேல் என்ற 60 வயது முதியவரை அடித்து கொன்றார்.
சூர்யகாந்த் பட்டேல், இந்த லைடி பெனோமோர் என்பவரால் தாக்கப்பட்ட ஆறுபேரை காப்பாற்ற முயன்றபோது லைடி இவரை கொன்றார்.
Delusional killer
A Tunisian immigrant beat a man to death while believing that Allah was telling him how to bring about world peace, a court was told. Suryakant Patel, 60, was killed as he tried to help six people being attacked by Laidi Benomor, 30, in Harlington High Street, near Heathrow, last November. Benomor, of no fixed address, admitted manslaughter due to diminished responsibility. He was detained indefinitely.

அரைக்கம்பத்தில் அல்லா
முக்கியமான நபர்கள் இறந்தால், அல்லது துக்கம் அல்லது ராஜீய காரியங்களுக்காக தேசக்கொடியை அரைக்கம்பத்தில் பறக்கவிட்டு, தேசம் நினைவு கூர்வதை குறிப்பது வழக்கம்.
ஆனால், ஈரானில் கொடியில் அல்லா என்று எழுதப்பட்டிருப்பதால், அதனை இனிமேல் அரைக்கம்பத்தில் பறக்கவிடக்கூடாது என்று ஈரான் அமைச்சர் கூறியிருக்கிறார்.
Iran bans half-mast flag to honor 'Allah' emblem

TEHRAN -- Iran has banned the national flag from flying at half-mast during periods of mourning in order to show respect for the writing of Allah's (God's) name on the flag.
The Iranian flag carries the words, "la ilaha illa Allah," the Arabic phrase meaning there is no god but Allah, between its green, white, and red stripes. It also carries the words, "Allah-o-Akbar" (God is Greatest).
"The Iranian flag carries 'Allah-o-Akbar' and 'la ilaha illa Allah.' In order to respect the sanctity of these terms, the flag should never be flown at half mast," Vice-President Parviz Davudi said in a directive to state organizations.
Under the rule of Pahlavi shahs who were ousted by the Islamic revolution in 1979, the national flag carried a sun and lion emblem in its middle white stripe, and no words.
However, it was redesigned following the revolution led by the late ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to add the sacred words, and a tulip motif symbolizing God, the power of the state, and self-sacrifice.
