I pass this on with a sick feeling in my gut.
Theocracies are a very, very bad idea.
There is no evidence that Mr. Rowhani was accorded any legal process or access to a lawyer and no sentence had been announced. The woman whom he was accused of converting to the Baha'i Faith refuted the accusation stating that she had been raised as a Baha'i. She has not been arrested. On the night before the execution Baha'is learned from the Iranian Intelligence Office that Mr. Rowhani was to be executed the following day. The statement was not taken seriously because authorities have often made similar erroneous threats to harass the Baha'is.
