An Iranian prisoner who survived a botched hanging has fallen into a coma, the state-run IRNA news agency reported today.

"His level of consciousness is around six per cent and the possibility of brain death will increase if the situation does not improve," IRNA quoted what it called an informed source as saying.

"The doctors cannot perform any surgery or other treatment while he is in a coma," said the source.

The prisoner, identified only as Alireza M, 37, was pronounced dead earlier this month by the attending doctor after hanging for 12 minutes from a noose suspended from a crane at a jail in northeastern Iran.

But the next day, staff at the mortuary in the city of Bojnourd where his shrouded body was taken discovered he was still breathing.

Many judiciary officials immediately called for his execution once he gets well.

Amnesty International called for an immediate stay of execution Alireza M and for all other death row prisoners in Iran.

Since beginning of this year at least 470 prisoners have been hanged with over 240 execution since sham presidential election in June.

" An Iranian grand ayatollah who issued a fatwa ordering the re-execution of convicts who come back to life has said his religious ruling should not be applied in the case of the man who revived in the morgue earlier this month."

" According to the semi-official Mehr news agency, Golpaygani has a fatwa in the second volume of his religious rulings, which says: "After the execution and before the burial, if the convict comes back to life while in the morgue or at the coroner's office and recovers after treatment, the verdict for Qisas (retribution) or Had (punishment) remains viable."

The references to Qisas and Had in Golpaygani's fatwa mean it only applies to sentences for certain crimes, called Hodud in the Islamic terminology, that are not at the discretion of the judge but are defined by sharia law.

Under Iranian sharia law, certain crimes such as sodomy, rape, theft, fornication, apostasy and consumption of alcohol for the third time are considered to be "claims of God" and therefore have a mandatory death sentence. Alireza is instead condemned to Tazir, a punishment that can be administered at the discretion of the judge, raising hopes that the judiciary might be able to change its mind over his case. .

Iran and UK Agree to Exchange Diplomats.

Iran and UK Agree to Exchange Diplomats.(UOI).

Iran and Britain have agreed to exchange diplomats and begin talks aimed at further improving relations, officials from both countries confirmed today.

“Pursuant to a decision by the Iranian parliament, it was agreed that from today the two countries have a relationship at the level of non-resident charges d'affaires,” announced foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham. (ISNA/Al Jazeera, 8 October) British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that he and his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, had agreed to appoint non-resident charge d’affaires, which would discuss the eventual reopening of the British embassy in Tehran and the Iranian Embassy in London.

British embassy in Tehran was closed after a mob overran the building in late 2011. Iranian embassy in London was also closed. The recent election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has raised hopes of a thaw between Iran and the West. Hague told lawmakers the coming months “may be unusually significant” in British-Iranian relations.

“It is clear that the new president and ministers in Iran are presenting themselves and their country in a much more positive way than in the recent past. There is no doubt that the tone of the meetings with them is different,” he told the House of Commons. (Al Jazeera, 8 October)

"Moderate Iran" - Iranian MP notifies FM Zarif due to using word “Israel”

"Moderate Iran" - Iranian MP notifies FM Zarif due to using word “Israel”. (Taz).

Iranian MP, Mojtaba Rahmandoust has addressed a written notification to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif due to his repeatedly use of word "Israel", Mehr news agency reported.

According to the report, Rahmandoust has stated that Zarif should use phrase "Zionist regime" instead the Israel. He underlined that "Israel is a fictitious word".

Iranian media and officials speak of Israel in the news and statements as "Zionist regime" and "Occupied Palestine".

Early in September Iranian media outlets quoted Zarif as condemning holocaust. "Iran condemns both genocide against Jews and Israel's violations against Palestinians," Zarif said.

Previously Zarif congratulated the Jews via his Twitter, writing in English "Happy Rosh Hashanah", adding that a minority of Jews live in Iran as well.

A user, who turned out to be Christine Pelosi, the daughter of former speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, replied to Zarif's message by saying "Thanks. The new year would be even sweeter if you would end Iran's Holocaust denial, sir."

Zarif tweeted back by saying "Iran never denied it (the Holocaust). The man who was perceived to be denying it is now gone."

The Iranian president Hassan Rouhani put an end to eight years of Holocaust denial under his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by condemning the "crime" of mass killings of Jews by the Nazis during an interview with CNN later in September.

"I've said before that I am not a historian, and when it comes to speaking of the dimensions of the Holocaust, it is the historians that should reflect," he said.

"But, in general, I can tell you that any crime that happens in history against humanity, including the crime the Nazis created towards the Jews as well as non-Jews, is reprehensible and condemnable. Whatever criminality they committed against the Jews, we condemn."

'Moderate Iran': Man sentenced to have eyes gouged out, ear cutoff.

"An Eye for an Eye"

'Moderate Iran': Man sentenced to have eyes gouged out, ear cutoff.(CNR).

NCRI - The Iranian regime's judiciary in Tehran has condemned a young man to have his eyes gouged and his right ear cutoff, a state-run daily Shraq reported.

The man identified by his first name Jamshid was convicted of deliberately pouring acid on the face of a girl named Shirin which caused her to lose eyesight and right ear.

The Iranian regime's judiciary officials have publicly defended the cutting off of hands and feet, the removal of a “defendant’s” eye, and even stoning as very real part of their judicial law.

On May 1, Mohammad-Javad Larijani, who was at the time the head Human Rights Council in the mullahs' judiciary said: " Retaliation and punishment are beautiful and necessary things. It’s a form of protection for the individual and civil rights of the people in a society. The executioner or the person carrying out the sentence is in fact very much a defender of human rights. One can say that there is humanity in the act of retaliation."

Ayatollah Khamenei: Iran doesn't trust US, but has faith in its own diplomats.

Ayatollah Khamenei: Iran doesn't trust US, but has faith in its own diplomats.(Taz).

Iran doesn't trust the United States, which doesn't keep its promises, yet we have faith in our own diplomats, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, Fars news agency reported.

Khamenei made the remarks during his speech at the graduation ceremony of Iran's military students.

"We support president Hassan Rouhani's diplomatic moves, as diplomacy is important," Khamenei said. "We support the developments of the New York visit, despite that some issues were not very suitable."

Khamenei went on to add that Iran trusts the diplomats of Rouhani's administration, underscoring that the U.S. administration is "under influence of international zionism".
Some forces in Iran were negative towards Hassan Rouhani's approach to talks with the U.S. president and its stance on country's nuclear program.

For example, commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari called Rouhani`s phone conversation with his US counterpart, a tactical mistake.

Later, extremist groups in Iran, held protests against Rouhani, upon his arrival in Tehran from New York. The protesters threw shoes at Rouhani.
