Iran has halted the executions of three men, Amirhossein Moradi, Mohammad Rajab,i and Saeed Tamjidi, who were sentenced to death over anti-government protests last year, according to one of their lawyers. The lawyer told reporters that a request for a retrial had been accepted by the supreme court. The three men were sentenced to death earlier this year, but it was the supreme court's decision to uphold the sentence earlier this week that unleashed public anger, with the Persian hashtag #do_not_execute used seven million times online. The three men were among thousands of protesters across Iran who took to the streets in November against the government's decision to raise the price of petrol. More than 300 protesters were killed and thousands others were arbitrarily detained during the authorities' crackdown against November's unrest.
