....”A last minute push by the Committee for the Defense of Iranian People's Rights to prevent the execution of Iranian teacher Abdolreza Ghanbari is in full gear today after the Iranian courts rejected the teacher's final appeal.

Ghanbari was arrested at his workplace after anti -government demonstrations on Dec. 27, 2009.

Held in Evin Prison since his arrest, Ghanbari has been tortured and denied access to a lawyer.


The teacher was tried before the Tehran Revolutionary Court on Jan. 30, 2010 and sentenced to death for 'moharebeh' (enmity towards God) for alleged links with the banned opposition group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran."....
