Taheri was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court on Saturday on a charge of "fesad fel arz" (corruption on earth), Prince Zeid said. He called on Iranian authorities to immediately withdraw charges against Taheri and ensure his unconditional release, adding that Iran's longtime use of executions is "problematic", as it had carried out many executions for drug offences, some for crimes committed as minors, as well as cases with "broad, ill-defined charges".
