Human rights groups say that Pzhman Sultani, who was arrested during protests in Bokan, Iran, has been sentenced to death for premeditated murder by a court in West Azerbaijan province. Rights groups say the trial was unfair and did not follow international legal standards. They also say the defendants were not allowed to have their own lawyers. Activists believe Sultani was punished for giving medical help to injured protesters who were afraid to go to the hospital.
