IRAN: DEATH SENTENCE UPHELD

Tehran Prosecutor General Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi announced that the death sentence against Majid Jamali Fashi, who assassinated nuclear physicist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi in 2010, had been upheld by Supreme Court.
Ali-Mohammadi, an elementary-particle physicist, was assassinated in a bomb attack on January 12, 2010. He had just left his home when a bomb hidden in a motorcycle was detonated.
Mr Fashi is charged with collaborating with the Israeli intelligence service, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
