European Union foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton pleaded with Iran to drop death sentences imposed on two people awaiting execution for being 'enemies of God'.  
Zeynab Jalalian and Hossein Khezri are currently in prison awaiting execution.
The EU "is profoundly concerned by the repeated sentencing to death in Iran of people belonging to minorities, as well as of those who were involved in the post-election protests," she underlined.
