TEHRAN, Nov 27 (AFP) - 14h56 - Three Iranian
members of a banned Kurdish group have received long
prison sentences for membership of a
counter-revolutionary organisation and acting
against the Islamic regime, press reports said
Sunday.
The reports said Iran's Supreme Court upheld
sentences of between 15 and 20 years handed down by
a court in Mahabad -- an historic centre of Kurdish
nationalism -- to Reza Amini, Halmet Azarpour and
Abdollah Mohammadi.
The three were members of the outlawed Iranian
Kurdistan Democratic Party, the reports said. No
further details were given.
Several major clashes around Mahabad were reported
in July following the police shooting of a suspect.
More unrest was reported this month.
