A senior judicial official in Iran confirmed that a death sentence had been passed for a cleric, the Iranian ISNA news agency reported on Wednesday.
“A death sentence has been issued for Majid Jafari-Tabar by the Special Clerical Court,” ISNA reported, quoting the spokesman for Iran’s judiciary system Gholam-Hussein Mohseni-Eje’i.
Mohseni-Eje’i said that this was a preliminary verdict, against which an appeal could be filed.
Jafari-Tabar, 53, was convicted of “communicating with evil spirits, using them for his own purposes and rejecting religion,” according to non-state media reports in Iran.
