Two Iranians were sentenced to death by a court for 'corruption on earth,' Iran's state news agency said
Two Iranians were sentenced to death by a court for"corruption on earth," Iran's state news agency IRNA said Monday.
One of them, Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani, was described by Amnesty International earlier this year as a gender nonconforming person and LGBTI activist who was detained by authorities"due to her real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as her social media posts and statements in defense of LGBTI rights." Elham Chobdar was also charged and convicted as part of the same case and sentenced to death, Iranian state media reported.
