A prominent writer in Iran, Mehdi Bahman, has been sentenced to death for granting an interview to an Israeli television station, Channel 13 last year.
Bahman was sentenced to death recently by an Iranian Revolutionary Court that found him guilty of espionage for speaking against the Islamic regime in Tehran and the “brutal imposition of Islamic law.”
During the interview, Bahman demanded normalization of the relationship between Israel and Iran, something that did not go well with Iranian authorities.
According to Iran International, Bahman, an author and highly talented illustrator who advanced religious harmony and tolerance, had been nabbed and detained many times over his criticism of the regime.
In a report, Iran International said: “Most recently, he collaborated with the dissident Shia cleric Masoumi Tehrani to create works of art that included symbols from different religions and gave them to leaders of Iran’s minority Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian, Sunni Islam, Mandaean Sabian, and Baha’i faiths.”
