 February 2nd, 2010- **I ran sentences 11 demonstrators to death. **  My Summary: This article is about how in Tehran, Iran. Tehran's Revolutionary Court sentenced 11 people to death after convicting them of participating in post-election riots. Arash Rahmanipour, one of the two men hanged on thursday. Arash's father did not know his son was executed until he seen the report on TV, the family was extremely upset and shocked. Arash was hanged illegally and secretly. A sentence was supposed to be announced to the defendant and his lawyer but was not and ended up getting carried out, but it was never announced to his lawyer or Arash himself. Arash's sister had also been arrested and was pregnant, she was later released from prison but lost her baby due to stress. Rahmanipour was charged with being a mohareb, enemy of god. The men had been unfairly convicted and now they had been unjustly killed.  My reaction:I don't think that they should have gotten hanged especially before the sentence was announced to the defendants and their lawyers, it wasn't right for them to do it in secret and illegally. They should have at least been announced for it to be carried out.  http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/28/iran.protest.sentences/index.html
