The unfortunate event that Iranian's theocracy is sentecing to death a man involved in the street protests of june will go unreported on Democracy Now!. As reported on the New York times:
"The man sentenced, Muhammad-Reza Ali Zamani, is a member of a group called Kingdom Assembly of Iran, which is considered a terrorist organization in Iran for seeking to replace the Islamic theocracy by restoring the shah to the throne, according to Iranian Web sites.
He was sentenced to death in a verdict issued Monday, according the Website Mowjcamp.com, which said Thursday that he had been taken from Evin prison in Tehran to the revolutionary tribunal, where he was informed of the verdict"
Media outlets have been responsible of saving people's lives such as in the case of academic Hashem Aghajari in 2002, where the media uproar about his conviction resulted in the revocation of his death sentence by Iranian authorities and its further release.
I hope Ali Zamani's sentence is revoked too, but I guess if it happens, Democracy Now! is not going to be thanked for helping. Thank you Amy Goodman!
