Hoseyn Shari'atmadari, managing editor of the Iranian daily Keyhan Persian, criticized the chief of the Judiciary Ayatollah Mahmud Hashemi-Shahrudi for his failure to put an end to the unjustifiable death sentence against academic Hashem Aghajari.
He described insistence of the judge from Hamedan on the death verdict as unjustifiable and a "gift to the enemy".
Shortly after the judge in Hamedan sentenced Aghajari to death, a group of academics sent a letter to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamene'i asking for clemency.
