Iran Sentences 3 Opposition Leaders to Death
--------------------------------------------



In Iran, three opposition figures involved in the protests against the
disputed national elections have been sentenced to death. The three are
the first to receive death sentences since dozens of protesters and
opposition members went on trial in August. The Iranian news agency says
they’ll have the right to appeal.
