Iran executes 4 people convicted of spying for Mossad
Tehran, The Gulf Observer: Iranian authorities have executed four people accused of working for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, while three others received lengthy prison sentences.
“This morning, the sentences of four main members of the gang of mobsters related to the Zionist intelligence service were executed,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online reported on Sunday.
Iran carried out the sentences four days after the supreme court upheld the penalty of capital punishment for “their intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime (Israel) and kidnapping”, the Mizan Online said.
There was no recourse to appeal after Wednesday’s decision, it added.Mizan identified the men as Hossein Ordoukhanzadeh, Shahin Imani Mahmoudabad, Milad Ashrafi Atbatan and Manouchehr Shahbandi Bojandi, without elaborating on their backgrounds.
