SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Iran's Fars News Agency quoted a senior judiciary official as saying the hangings will be in addition to two others last week, CNN reported.

"The two people who were executed, as well as the other nine who will soon be executed, had certainly been arrested during the recent riots", the Iranian official reportedly said. "Each had belonged to an anti-revolutionary group, had aspired to sow dissent and to uproot the regime."

Observers say the most recent demonstrations, held on the Dec. 27 Muslim holy day Ashura, resulted in at least seven people being killed and hundreds arrested. Like the anti-government demonstrations that swept Iran last summer, they stemmed from allegations that the June 12 presidential vote re-electing hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged.

CNN reported authorities last week hanged Mohammed Reza Ali Zamani, 37, and Arash Rahmanipour, 20. They had been convicted of being enemies of God and of plotting to topple the Islamic republic.
