NCRI – Iranian regime must lift the death penalty on five hunger-striking political prisoners, Amnesty International has demanded.
The Iranian Arabs men were arrested in early 2011 on obscure charges including 'enmity against God and corruption on earth', 'gathering and colluding against state security' and 'spreading propaganda against the system', Amnesty said. After being sentenced to death on July 7, 2012, they have been subjected to torture in Karoun prison and refused access to medical treatment, family visits and phone calls.
After the Supreme Court upheld the sentences on January 9 this year, the five – named as Mohammad Ali Amouri, Sayed Jaber Alboshoka, his brother Sayed Mokhtar Alboshoka, and teachers Hashem Sha’bani Amouri and Hadi Rashidi or Rashedi) – began a hunger strike in protest at the abuses.
They initially went on a 'dry' hunger strike, refusing water and food, before accepting fluids from 2 March.
In an urgent statement to the world's media, Amnesty has now issued a list of demands to the Iranian regime including stopping their execution.
Golfers enjoying a late afternoon on the links Tuesday found their game interrupted by gunfire, leading to the discovery of two slain women.
Leon County Sheriffs responded to a call of shots fired near Hilaman Golf Course and found the bodies of two women behind an apartment complex that borders the course.
Lt. James McQuaig of the Leon County Sheriffs confirmed the deaths of the two women at the Tallahassee apartment, but declined to release their ages or identities.
Police "are canvassing the neighborhood, conducting witness interviews and crime scene detectives are on scene and they are collecting forensic evidence," McQuaig said.
Neighbors said the incident was out of character for the southeast Tallahassee neighborhood.
"I was in shock because it's so quiet out here," said Randria Walker, a Whispering Woods resident of four months who said she might consider moving because of the shooting, told WCTV.
Autopsies will take place Wednesday.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
Police have an arrest warrant for one of three suspects involved in a homicide earlier this month.

Salaz and two others entered the victim's home in the 200 block of S. Campbell Avenue. They confronted the victim, who was then shot and killed, police say.
Anyone with information on the location of Cassandra Salaz is urged to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
A dog that belongs to a relative of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords attacked and killed a sea lion Saturday along the shoreline in Laguna Beach, police said.
The violent attack, which shows Giffords' stepdaughter and husband trying to remove the canine from the limp sea mammal as the surf rolls in, can be seen on a YouTube video sent to The Times. (Editor's note: The video features graphic images and curse words.)
Laguna Beach police received a call at 2 p.m. and arrived to find that the 65-pound American bulldog mix had broken free from its 18-year-old owner and attacked a beached sea lion on a public beach below the Montage Laguna Beach, a luxury hotel, Capt. Jason Kravetz said in an email.
The video taken by a local resident shows Giffords' daughter struggling to free the sea lion. Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, appears later in the video, running down and pulling the dog off the sea lion, both police and a senior advisor to Giffords confirmed.
Kelly and Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, are vacationing with family in Laguna Beach.
Kelly brought the dog back to the house where the family is staying and crated the dog in the basement before meeting with police, Jen Bluestein, senior advisor for Americans for Responsible Solutions, a political action committee started by Giffords and Kelly, said in an email.
Giffords was not present at the scene at Goff Island Beach and has no connection to the dog, she added.
The dog lives with the stepdaughter in Houston; Giffords and Kelly live in Tucson.
Police did not cite the owner "because it was legal for her to have the dog on the beach this time of year, and she did have it leashed. It was so strong that it pulled free of her when it saw the [sea lion]," Kravetz said.
It's illegal for an owner to knowingly sick a dog on marine life.
"That wasn't the case in this situation," Kravetz said.
The sea lion died from its injuries and has been removed from Aliso Creek, where it had beached itself and was possibly ill.
