Activists hanged
Five political prisoners hanged in Evin Prison

(Reuters) - Iran put to death on Sunday five members of "anti-revolutionary" groups who had been involved in a series of bombings, the state news agency said. Farzad Kamangar, Ali Haydarian, Farhad Vakili, Shirin Alam Houli and Mehdi Eslamian were hanged at Evin prison on Sunday morning, IRNA said. The report said the five were involved in "terrorist operations", including planting bombs in both public and government places over several years. The incidents appeared to have taken place before disputed elections last year that gave President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a second term in office, creating a protest movement the authorities have tried to crush.

Omid Montazeri
Six-year suspended prison sentence

Committee of Human Rights Reporters: Many human rights activists around the world have demanded the release of Omid Montazeri. He has been handed a six-year suspended prison sentence. He was arrested on December 28, 2009, upon his arrival at the tracking office of the Ministry of Intelligence to obtain information on the arrest of his mother (Mahin Fahimi) and her guests who were all arrested at his family’s residence. It has been two months now that Omid Montazeri has been in detention. Mahin Fahimi was released on bail on February 9, 2010. Montazeri was completing his last term in Allameh Tabatabai University to obtain a bachelors degree in law. He is also known as a poet and journalist. The articles he wrote about were culture-related or editorials. His work has been published in Iranian newspapers such as Farhang Ashti and Khabar. Omid Montazeri’s father, Hamid Montazeri, was a political prisoner who was executed by the regime in 1988.

A visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki sparked an outcry Tuesday in the European Parliament in Brussels, with one lawmaker calling him 'a murderer.' British conservative Struan Stevenson launched his verbal attack before Mottaki entered the foreign affairs committee for a closed-door hearing. He was holding a picture of Neda Agha Soltan, a student killed last year during demonstrations against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election.
