TEHRAN, Iran
(AP) - Iran has sentenced five people to death over the unrest that
followed the country's disputed June presidential election, state
television reported Tuesday.
At least three others caught up in the turmoil have received death sentences previously.
Iran began a mass trial in August of prominent opposition figures and
activists, accusing them of a range of charges from rioting to spying
and plotting what authorities have called a "soft revolution" to topple
the country's Islamic rulers.
