Six More Iranian Protesters to be Executed
------------------------------------------



Iranian authorities have announced six protesters arrested during
demonstrations in December will be put to death. The six have been
detained since late December when they took part in the Ashura Day
protests. Meanwhile, Iran’s largest pro-reform political party has been
banned. On Monday, the Iranian government announced it had stripped the
Islamic Iran Participation Front’s authorization to conduct political
activity.
