Iran’s judiciary on Tuesday dismissed reports that eight women detained over protests that shook the country were at risk of execution, rejecting claims that had drawn international concern.
"Trump was misled once again by fake news," the judiciary's official Mizan Online website said, as cited by AFP. "The women who were claimed to be on the verge of execution, some of them have been released, while others face charges that, if convictions are upheld, would at most result in imprisonment."
