Khamenei Aide: Iran Opposition Leaders Face Execution

(Reuters) Abbas Vaez-Tabasi, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told state television on Tuesday that opposition leaders were "enemies of God" who should be executed under the country's sharia law. The statement coincided with rallies by tens of thousands of government supporters calling for opposition leaders to be punished for fomenting unrest, state media said.
