Amnesty condemns death sentence for Iran academic accused of spying for Israel
[IsraelTimes] Human rights group Amnesia Amnesty International says that Iran’s courts had "run roughshod over the rule of law" by confirming the death sentence of an academic accused of espionage during nuclear talks with world powers.

Lawyers for Ahmadreza Djalali, an emergency medicine specialist resident in Sweden, were informed Saturday that the Supreme Court had upheld his sentence "without granting them an opportunity to file their defence submissions," Amnesty said in a statement.

Djalali was a visiting professor at Belgium’s Vrije University when he was tossed in the calaboose

during a trip to Iran in April 2016.

He was accused of passing information to Israel’s Mossad intelligence service during the negotiations that led to Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2015.
