Iran jails 2 for spying for US, Israel
Iranian official IRNA news agency, has said that two people
have been sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of spying for
the United States and Israel.
IRNA quotes judicial spokesman Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehi
as saying Sunday that the two were sentenced by a Revolutionary Court, which handles
national security cases, reports AP.
He did not provide the names of those sentenced.
The lawyer for Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who
was tried for espionage in a Revolutionary Court, said the case "has
nothing to do with the case of my client."
Leila Ahsan says the court has yet to issue its verdict on
Rezaian.
Rezaian was arrested in July 2014, and reportedly faces up
to 20 years in prison if convicted. His case has been widely criticized by
rights groups.
