/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iranian religious leaders call for death penalty
for leaders of the popular demonstrations.

At his five-day prayers sermon, hard line cleric Ahmad Khatami (who
is close to the hard line faction of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad)
called for capital punishment for leaders of the popular demonstrations
against the outcome of the election, "I demand that the country’s legal
system launched decisive confrontation with demonstration organizers. I
demand that they all be indiscriminately sentenced to death penalty,"
MIGnews.com quotes religious leader as saying.

Capital punishment against organizers of disorders is consistent with
the norms of Islamic legislation, Khatami said. Iranian government-run
media report that 8 Basij militia members and 17 demonstrators died
while dispersing demonstration.
