Iranian authorities declared on 2 February 2010 that nine individuals sentenced in recent mass trials on various charges including mohareb, or 'taking up arms against God', would be executed soon. The European Union is opposed to capital punishment under all circumstances and calls on Iran to institute an immediate moratorium on executions. |
